**BUCHAREST —** Patr. Daniel of the Romanian Orthodox Church has called for [shared responsibility](https://basilica.ro/patriarhul-daniel-subliniaza-responsabilitatea-comuna-in-promovarea-respectului-reciproc-dialogului-interreligios/) in promoting mutual respect and interreligious dialogue, addressing a working meeting between representatives of Romania’s recognized religious denominations and government experts focused on combating antisemitism and other forms of prejudice.

In a message issued Friday, the Patriarch welcomed the initiative as timely and necessary, citing national law that recognizes religious communities as partners in education, social service, culture, and the promotion of social peace. He stressed that cooperation among religious denominations, grounded in mutual understanding and respect, is an essential tool in countering intolerance and fostering dialogue.

Patr.
