Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has said that a great Easter Assembly of Serbia and Republika Srpska would be held in Belgrade and other parts of the country on May 5 and 6.
This was agreed after hours of talks with Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik on March 18, with the head of the Serbian Orthodox Church in attendance, Vucic's office said in a press release.
"Important decisions will be made at this assembly about the survival of the Serb people on their hearths, economic progress, the preservation of the Serbian language, the Cyrillic alphabet and shared cultural heritage," the press release read.
The new government of Serbia and the government of Republika Srpska, the statement added, will prepare a declaration and possibly other general documents to submit for adoption to the parliaments of both countries.
"We informed Serbian Patriarch Porfirije with the gravity of the political situation the entire Serb people are in and asked his holyness for blessings and the support of the Serbian Orthodox Church," the statement noted.
