On September 18, in Sremski Karlovci, at the invitation of H.E. Msgr. Fabijan Svalina, Bishop of Srijem—one of Eastern Europe’s oldest dioceses—a commemoration ceremony took place at the Chapel of Our Lady of Peace to mark the 325th anniversary of the Treaty of Carlowitz.

This interfaith prayer gathering, presided over by Cardinal Pietro Parolin, concluded with a powerful message of PEACE for Europe and the world. The ceremony also featured the planting of a young olive tree in front of the chapel by Cardinal Parolin, the bishops, and representatives of the diplomatic corps. It was a moment of deep religious and political significance.
