 <http://www.spc.rs/files/u6/IMG_2535-z-s.jpg> Today at the session of the Holy 
Synod of Bishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church, chaired by Patriarch Irinej of 
Serbia, it has been decided to initiate the procedure of determining the 
canonical responsibility of His Grace Bishop Artemije of Raska and Prizren in 
the first instance (Constitution of the Serbian Orthodox Church art. 70, sect. 
20 and 356), with His obligation to cooperate during the procedure, and to be 
removed from the management of the Diocese of Raska and Prizren until the 
completion of the initiated procedure, or until the next regular session of the 
Holy Assembly of Bishops. 

His Grace Bishop Artemije of Raska and Prizren can stay and serve in one of the 
monasteries or in a different place on the territory of the Diocese of Raska 
and Prizren or beyond it until the completion of the procedure, in an agreement 
with the administrator, or with the permission of the competent diocesan 
bishop, but without any intervention in the jurisdiction of the administrator 
or any of diocesan bishops. 

On the basis of art. 70. sect. 21 of the Constitution of the Serbian Orthodox 
Church, His Grace retired Bishop Atanasije of Zahumlje and Herzegovina to be 
established as the Administrator of the Diocese of Raska and Prizren with all 
the rights and duties of the diocesan bishop.
