Archbishop Christodoulos of Athens and All Greece said on Sunday that the Church of Greece will donate 150 million drachmas for the mission of the Serbian Church and another 100 million drachmas for the construction of the church of Aghios Savvas.

This was stated by the Archbishop during a dinner which was hosted in his honour in Belgrade by Patriarch Pavlos of Serbia.

Earlier, Christodoulos, who is on an official visit to the Serbian Church, in an address at Belgrade's Cathedral reffered to the help which the Greeks had offered to the Serbs. He also spoke of the suffering of the Orthodox people, stressing in particular that the situation prevailing in Kosovo forces Orthodox Serbians to abandon their homes.
