The Attitude of the Serbian Orthodox Church to Canonical and Juridical Position of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (1920–1930) The attitudes of the Serbian Orthodox Church to canonical and juridical position of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR) in the twenties of the 20th century are represented in this paper on the basis of archive materials, which are kept in the Archival Holdings of Serbia. The attitudes of Serbian Church Authorities regarding the status of ROCOR in the canonical territory of the Serbian Patriarchate have been analyzed, as well as the attitudes regarding the jurisdiction of the ROCOR Synod of Bishops outside the borders of Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. The documents have been analyzed in the historical and ecclesiological contexts, in order to provide a comprehensive insight into the attitude of the Serbian Orthodox Church in connection with the before mentioned matters.
