Serb President Tadic seeks Papal visit

Serbian President Boris Tadic today met with Pope Benedict XVI and said he hoped the pontiff could visit the country “very soon,” but said certain pre-conditions had to be negotiated first with the Serbian Orthodox Church.

Vatican spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls said Tadic had invited the Pope to visit, and that the Pope had thanked him for the invitation and “expressed hope that such a visit could take place in the future.”
