Kosovo’s independence declared shows West’s dislike of Slavs - ROCOR
Posted on Fri Feb 22 2008

Interfax

Moscow, February 22, Interfax – The Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia believes the unilateral declaration of Kosovo’s independence shows that Western world fears Slavonic peoples.

“Unfortunately, the West doesn’t understand Russians and Slavdom and it isn’t a friend of the Slavs,” administrator of the ROCOR Chicago Diocese Bishop Peter of Cleveland said at a meeting with students of St.Tikhon’s Orthodox University in Moscow.

He stressed he stuck to this conviction even though he was born in America to a Russian family and loved his Motherland.

‘The West feels its spiritual bankruptcy before Slavs and is afraid of the Slavonic unity,” Bishop Peter said.
