Beograd press – Belgrade, Serbia

As ‘Blic’ learns the Patriarch has left a testament and it is to be opened by the Holly Synod. He has also written where he wanted to be buried.
‘Where death comes for me, there is my grave’, Patriarch Pavle used say. According to the Protocol he is to be buried at the Patriarchy in Pec (Kosovo and Metohija) but according to his will he shall be laid to rest at the Monastery of the St. Archangel Gavrilo in Belgrade.
Until then the body of the Serbian Patriarch shall be displayed in the Cathedral Church in Belgrade and the church bells shall ring every 15 minutes before the full hour. The funeral shall be held on Thursday so as that the patriarchs of other Orthodox churches and representatives of other religions are given time to come to Belgrade. The Russian Patriarch Cyril has already announced his arrival and it is almost certain that the Pope Benedict shall appoint the first after him to attend the funeral. The extraordinary session of the Holly Synod of the Serbian Orthodox Church began yesterday at 17.00 CET with the presence of Serbian President Boris Tadic and Police Minister Ivica Dacic.
