The New Serbian Orthodox Patriarch will be elected on January 22 by the Holy Synod of Bishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church, the church's website said on Friday.

The election will take place 40 days after the November 15 death of Patriarch Pavle.

Patriarch Pavle, elected to head the Serbian Orthodox Church in 1990, died at the age of 95 of a cardiac arrest during his sleep after being treated for two years in the Belgrade Military Medical Academy.

Serbia declared a period of national mourning and hundreds of thousands of people came to bid farewell to the patriarch as the country's Orthodox Church leader was buried in a Belgrade suburb.
