This is good news. Yet EP is first among eaqual, so a "deal" must be agreed with all Ortodox Churches, Russian, Serbian, Bulgarian etc.
And that must be followed by practical steps, not only words.

Complicated issue is that all other Ortodox Churches are (politicaly) rivals with EP, Russian is first to be rival. So ecumenizm must not lean only on EP.
Ortodox world is not working like Vatican, and EP is just honorary title. All Ortodox Churches must be included.

K, the Patriarch of Serbia hosted the meeting of the dialog this past Fall in Belgrade. All the canonical Orthodox Churches are represented.
