"At that Assembly, important decisions will be made about the survival of the Serb people in their homes, their economic progress, the preservation of the Serbian language and the Cyrillic script, and the common cultural heritage. The new Government of Serbia and the Government of the RS will prepare a declaration and possibly other general legal acts that will be submitted as the same text for adoption to the National Assemblies of the Republic of Serbia and the RS," it was added.

"We informed Serbian Patriarch Porfirije about the gravity of the political situation in which the entire Serb people find themselves and asked His Holiness for the blessing and support of the Serbian Orthodox Church. We will inform the public about all other details in the coming period," the statement concluded.
