Everywhere we were met with Orthodox feeling and warm philhellenism… We held a memorial service for the hero of our war of liberation, Rigas Ferraios, within the fortress where he met his martyr’s death and for our heroes who fell at Pirot. The Yugoslav authorities participated wholeheartedly in these ceremonies…. Relations with the Serbian Church are now most cordial.
