I only can give accurate information to you. Its the purpose of this, isn`t it, that we share information we can`t get from BBC, Deutsche welle, CNn, etc.
From all Christian Slavs, Serbs are oldest Christians. Actually, most probable that Serbs goes among oldest Christian of Europe if not first official Christian (Sremska Mitrovica diocese, its was, if I can recall).
But what Orthodox Serbs managed during middle age (in case with its pre-Christian tradition) is more then, for example, Irish Catholics or any Protestants managed.
We have our national (peoples) Church. We recognize Constantinople what is to us same as Rome, because we see Constantinople Patriarch as apprentice to Pope. So, we don`t buy that crap and we enjoy our freedom. In addition, we had Sv. Sava Nemanjic in middle ages that managed to insert some pre-Christian rituals (around SLAVA family custom- dedicated to ancestors and Vidovdan- dedicated to Svetovid), to Christianize those rituals.
Now. Pope of Rome and Constatniople Patriarch and Greeks and Italians all issued pressures on Serbs over our form of Christianity (specific even within Orthodoxy). Even Russians had their complaints on us. They were full of Third Rome stories and ``clean`` Christianity. Serbian answer to all was that we don`t question anything within Christianity but that we want even more autonomy (technically, its even same as Catholicism but we don`t recognize Pope, neither Pope deserved it from us- they simple killed too many of us and they lost any chance to be authority to Serbs; In fact, as you see, even Greeks committed genocide on Serbs and they also aren`t authority to us). Russians were scandalized with our wish to be even more independent from all. And now, like wounded dog, they change their position. They learned. They sow how Greeks and Italians work together whenever have to deal with Slavs. And now they coming to Serbs and ask about teachings of Sv. Sava. Serbian Patriarch only noted: ,,Romans are Romans, aren`t they brothers, no matter Western Romans or Eastern Romans.`` And Russians lavishly supported decoration of Sv. Sava Church in Belgrade.

You Poles would also learn and you will ask about Sv. Sava Nemannic. He was cousin to Polish Jadwiga.
Think carefully about your answer.
You better ask yourself why Jan Lopuzansky of Polish Ultra Wing Catholics within parliament of Poland said, back in 1999 /citation/: ``How NATO today deal with Serbs, one day will deal with Poles.`` To make you this more clear, I will only remind you that exactly at time when Lopusansky said that, Pope John Paul II visited Poland and issued pressure on moron Kwasnewski to immediately stop Poland`s involvement against Serbs. So, logistically, Lopuzansky coordinated with Pope John Paul II. Why? Because always in history, Polish patriots knew that attack on Serbs represent just prelude to attack on Poles. Sure, its not that simple. To Poland, Serbia is last hope. To Poland we mean more then to Russia. By helping us, Russia in fact helping Poland.
I know Torq that you don`t undesirable this. But Corey Lewandowski and those who need to know this among Poles, knows it.
>>>> Corey Lewandowski in Belgrade >>>>
Should I tell you @Torq, this cream of info? Yes, I should be nice. See, after (as US Trump`s confidential man) finishing formal talks with Serbian top politicians and economic (!) magnates (!), regarding US interests in the region and Serbian mediation between those and Russia`s interests, informally brat Corey Lewandowski asked his Serbian brethren, what Russians say, where are Serbia and Poland. He got answer how is Russian stance that all depend on us. That will all what harmed Poles and Serbs be corrected and that will our borders only expand, what is by Russia seen as increase of balance within Slavic and Christian world and in Europe. Russians only expect that we in joint projects refrain from any hostility on Russia. In return, Russia prevents any third side, Germany and EU included, in harming our joint projects. Brat Corey Lewandowski also learned how is Russia confident that USA`s, Russia`s and Vatican`s positions won`t go against Polish-Serbian (ie Central European) projects and specific interests.
Anyway, brat Corey left Belgrade and returned to USA, how to say, extremely pleased. So much pleased that the day after his return from Belgrade he personally opened his company for investment in Bosnia-Herzegovina, where he supported Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik and secured his major role in Bosnian politics.
Some time after this, last year, Polish President Duda made major shift in his policy on the region here >>>>
Among Visegrad members, from the Western Balkan, you here see only Presidents of Serbia and Slovenia / only those states are serious and only those states have future, if you understand me; no representatives of Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Albania and Crna Gora /In about same time, Hungarian Orban shewed this map to his Videgrad colleagues >>>>
Map that describes how Hungary and Serbia share Adriatic and borders in the region, as was proposed by working (just at that time Serbs prevented it trusting in Yugoslavia; today is different)>>>> offered to Serbia by London treaty after WWI >>>>
Unofficially, Vatican and Russia are interested only in the sense of creating long lasting border between Catholics and Orthodox (not in the sense pure Catholic and pure Orthodox but simple in strategic sense). To Vatican is no important what are Catholics that control major Catholic zone. To Vatican is also very important that are Serbs satisfied, that Serbs heal and Pope would like to avoid that Serbia sue Vatican for genocide (much better is that Vatican with time express its regret and admit truth on its own). Vatican also wants to show itself as sincere center for all Christians and correct mistakes from past. Now, considering that complete region (Orthodox and Catholic parts) belong to ethnic Serbian space (other stories are just past anti-Serbian Vatican`s, Italian, Turkish, German and Austrian projects), Serbia is asked to say her preferences with whom Catholics would like to share borders, how see future of region. Here Serbia involved Hungary considering that Hungary repented and showing interests to put past behind and correct damage done to Serbs (Hungary was also part of anti-Serbian coalition but because of that had even major internal turbulence and never moved on Serbs). You can only imagine how dobri Orban of Hungary reacted on call of Serbia. Its a chance to Hungary to get to Adriatic. Its positive answer of Serbia on Hungarian offered hand. Italy of course complained but Serbia gave middle finger to Italy for Italian role in genocide of Serbs and, that is when Putin and Chinese Xi talked to Italians on behalf of Serbia and Hungary. So now Hungary and Italy needs to solve misunderstandings and Serbia would give final word on exact position of border (defined by Russia and Vatican and blessed by USA- where Serbia have freedom to move borders here and there for some 50-100 km, which is satisfaction of historical justice after which we all move on- in reality it mean that would Serbia ultimately consult with Hungary on exact borders with final word of Serbia). Turkey? Turkey had to give up on all her neo-Turkish ambitions in the region, of course. Other who are interested, like Germany? Germany itself is on menu. Austria? Itself on menu. EU? Itself on menu.
When this is done, it would be normal to have Orthodox, Catholic and Muslim Serbs and it would be allowed Serbia to prosper without weakening Serbs over internal religious lines.
