"Vanguard for the whole of Europe"
The students were also welcomed in Munich by the bishop of the Serbian Orthodox Church, Grigorije, who told N1 that the students from Serbia "simply put, are the vanguard not only for Serbia, but for the whole of Europe".
"I am happy that we can host the students here in Munich, tomorrow in Augsburg, Stuttgart and in the city of Karlsruhe. If we could be with them every second, it would be a great honor for us. But also this, that we have the opportunity to host them, is a great honor and a great joy," he said.
Student Uroš told N1 that the reception was phenomenal, as well as Bishop Grigori's speech, who said that whoever attacks the students is not only attacking the best of the Serbian people, but Christ himself.
Calling the students "modern knights" and "heroes of our age", Bishop Grigorije said that they are a reminder that virtue still exists and that kindness has not died down forever.
"Today, with you and through you, beauty, kindness and intelligence have crossed our threshold. Your arrival has made this city and this home a place of devotion, sacrifice, nobility and perseverance. Standing here before you, I confess that I feel as rarely as ever in my life I tremble, because your feat and struggle are binding and encourage each of us to bring out the best in our being, what we have long forgotten or repressed, and that is above all to be better and nobler people," said Bishop Grigorije, who himself was one of the organizers of the student protests in 1992, while he was studying theology.
He asked the students to never forget that the doors of SPC are always open to them.
"You are our children and we will always defend you and your ideals and goals when necessary. Let me say this to everyone who needs to hear it: whoever attacks you does not only attack the best of our people, but attacks Christ himself, who always identified himself with those we call the little ones, against whom injustice and evil have been done, and I say to you, welcome our hopes and find us better, to whom you restore life and humanity, constantly reminding us what it means to honor, nobility and dignity", said the bishop.
Bishop Grigorije called on the students to remain authentic and true to themselves, and never change that for anything, not even for the fleeting treasures of this world.
