"Kad sam stigao u Mostar, bio sam pomalo šokiran divotom ove različitosti, gdje odzvanjaju crkvena zvona, a s minareta se čuje ezan (muslimanska molitva)," izjavio je Grigorije, koji je postao čelnik Eparhije zahumsko-hercegovačke 1999. godine.
"When I arrived in Mostar, I was slightly shocked at the delightfulness of this diversity, where church bells resound and ezan (the Muslim prayer) can be heard from minarets," said Grigorije, who became head of the Eparchy of Zahumlje and Herzegovina in 1999.
