Selakovic recalled that the Vatican has a principled position not to recognize Kosovo's separatism as statehood, and added that its support for Serbia is exceptionally important.
He told Vecernje Novosti that the Vatican determines the foreign policy agenda of the visit of its head based on communication with dominant Christian communities in individual countries.
"That means that the realization of the Pope's visit to Serbia is closely connected to the voice of the Serbian Orthodox Church," he added.
Selakovic is convinced that the two Churches will communicate and discuss this issue.
