My guess is the Serbs, like the Bulgarians, would try their best to not pick a side for as long as they can and will try to reconcile both parties. In the end... I m not sure.

That's precisely what I don't understand about Orthodox church. Either become centralized and rule universally from single point of authority like Catholic church does or split it up so that every modern nation has its own church.. Allowing one nation to rule the church of other nation just creates political tensions which can lead to serious conflicts. For example, what if I hypotethically converted to Orthodoxy? Which church would I belong to?

Orthodox church of Croatia

Orthodox church of Croatia

Doesn't exist. Well, it does, but it's not recognized

who cares and in what capacity?

Will members of Serbian Orthodox Church remain loyal to Ecumenal Patriarchate authority or will side with Russian Patriarchate as dissidents?

So supporting Russia today means supporting Heretics if you ask Ecumenal Patriarch.

Excerpts from The Communique of the Holy Assembly of Bishops

22 May, 2019

Spoiler!

The Communique of the Holy Assembly of Bishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church from their regular meeting held at Zica Monastery and in Belgrade, May 9-18, 2019


The biggest problem of the Orthodox Church today is the Church schism in Ukraine and the failed attempt by the Patriarchate of Constantinople in resolving the problem "knee jerk", on its own initiative, without a dialogue with the canonical Church in Ukraine and with the Russian Orthodox Church as a whole and without pan-Slavic counseling. In this regard, the Assembly’s present position remains: our Church does not recognize the newly established false-church structure in Ukraine, led by the citizens of Denysenko and Dumenko, and is only and exclusively in liturgical and canonical communion with the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church, led by His Beatitude Metropolitan Onufry, and with all the other canonical Orthodox Churches.

The Serbian Church re-affirms its position on church situation in Ukraine

31 May, 2019

Spoiler!

His Holiness Irenaeus, Patriarch of Serbia, has familiarized His Holiness Kirill, Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia, with the position taken by the Serbian Orthodox Church on the Ukrainian church problems.

Below is the full text of the official position formulated by the Bishops’ Council of the Serbian Orthodox Church at its session on May 14, 2019.

With regard to the disputed and vitally important topic of an abnormal church situation in Ukraine that has developed after the well-known decisions and unilateral interference of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, the Sacred Bishops’ Council of the Serbian Orthodox Church officially and unanimously informs and presents to the general public that the position of our Church on this problem remains unchanged as to its previous official conciliar and synodal decisions, statements and appeals. Accordingly, the Serbian Orthodox Church does not recognize the newly formed pseudo-ecclesiastical structure in Ukraine, headed by citizens Denisenko and Dumenko, but stands in the liturgical and canonical communion only and exceptionally with the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church headed by His Beatitude Metropolitan Onufriy. It implies that our Church is in communion with all the rest canonical Orthodox Churches.

We repeat once again that our Sacred Bishops’ Council makes another appeal to all to solve and resolve the church problems in Ukraine canonically, in fraternal dialogue with the Russian Orthodox Church on the whole and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in particular after a conference on the pan-Orthodox level.

We send the text of our decision concurrently to the Patriarch of Constantinople and to Your Holiness and after them will immediately send it to all the rest Primates of local Orthodox Churches and, in an appropriate form, to the public both ecclesial and secular.

Your brother and concelebrant always faithful to Your Holiness in the love of Christ the Saviour.
