At a meeting with Bulgarian President Rumen Radev, His Holiness the Bulgarian Patriarch Daniil introduced him to the consequences of the final court decision on the possibility of registering a parallel "Orthodox Church". During the conversation, Radev emphasized that the Bulgarian Orthodox Church is one and indivisible, it has been and will remain a spiritual pillar in the vicissitudes of our centuries-old history. 
"The Bulgarian Orthodox Church - Bulgarian Patriarchate is the institutional expression of the Eastern Orthodox confession in the Republic of Bulgaria with an undeniable historical contribution and a huge role for our national identity", the President emphasized. According to him, the risks facing the Bulgarian Orthodox Church should be viewed as threats to Bulgaria's national unity and sovereignty, which is why the state, through its institutions, must guarantee the conditions for its unity.

The Bulgarian Patriarch emphasized that by its divine-human nature, the Church is one and according to its internal rules, there cannot be two Orthodox Churches on one canonically occupied territory. In his words, in this unity, it has contributed to the unity and preservation of the Bulgarian people.
