During a meeting with Speaker of the Montenegrin Parliament Aleksa Bečić, Patriarch Bartholomew informed his guest that "the peaceful visit of the new Serbian Patriarch Porfirije is expected by Phanar with joy and in accordance with general Orthodox customs."

In addition, Patriarch Porfirije stated that he was struck by the ease with which the Patriarchate of Constantinople violated the canons by creating the OCU.
