The Governments of Serbia and the Republic of Srpska adopted on 8 June 2024, within the framework of the All-Serbian Assembly in Belgrade, a Declaration on the Protection of National and Political Rights and the Common Future of the Serbian People, which contains 49 conclusions, positions, and goals aimed at preserving peace, stability, national, cultural, and religious identity, as well as intensifying and deepening cooperation and mutual protection.

Among other things, the conclusions state that the All-Serbian Assembly, respecting all faiths and supporting freedom of religion and recognizing the indispensable importance of members of the Serbian people of other faiths, expresses special gratitude to the Serbian Orthodox Church, which unites the largest part of the Serbian people under its wing.

The Serbian Orthodox Church has preserved the Serbian people in the most difficult times both biologically and in terms of culture and education, the document states, emphasizing that the All-Serbian Assembly recognizes the Serbian Orthodox Church as one of the pillars of the national, cultural, and spiritual identity of the Serbian people and calls for closer cooperation between ecclesiastical and state authorities on key issues such as preserving traditional Christian values, and preserving the sanctity of marriage and family. The All-Serbian Assembly also supports the role of the Serbian Orthodox Church in educating young people through pedagogical and educational activities.
