Greek Prime Minister Mitsotakis calls the new Archbishop of Albania, Joan

24 hours after being elected head of the Autocephalous Orthodox Church of Albania, Archbishop Joan Pelushi received a congratulatory call from Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

In a post on the 'X' platform, Mitsotakis congratulated the new Archbishop and emphasized that the Church of Albania represents a point of unity and mutual understanding between the Albanian and Greek people.

“We will continue to work towards this goal, honoring the memory and work of Blessed Anastasios. I contacted His Beatitude Archbishop Ioannis of Tirana, Durrës and All Albania and congratulated him on his election,” Mitsotakis wrote.

Archbishop Joan Pelushi was elected head of the Autocephalous Orthodox Church of Albania on March 16, following the passing of the late Archbishop Anastasios.
