"For Serbian people it is very important to see that the relationship with the Vatican are really very, very, old and I think that the most important message is that most representative people of Serbian intellectual elite, statesmen, professors of the university, politicians, were very fond of establishing the relationship with the Vatican. What is not very well known is that in that time the Vatican didn't have a lot of treaties and conquered that."
