The Eparchy of Srem (Template:Langx) is an eparchy (diocese) of the Serbian Orthodox Church in the Syrmia (Srem) region, Serbia. Most of the eparchy is in the autonomous province of Vojvodina, and it also includes a small south-eastern part of Syrmia within the city limits of Belgrade, as well as some West Syrmian parishes in the border region of Croatia. The seat of the eparchy is at Sremski Karlovci. Since 1986, the diocesan bishop is Vasilije Vadić.[1]

History

Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote".

The Eparchy of Srem is one of the oldest ecclesiastical institutions in this part of Southeastern Europe. The Bishopric of Sirmium was an important ecclesiastical center of the late Roman Empire in the 4th and 5th centuries. The bishopric collapsed after 582 when ancient Sirmium was finally destroyed by Avars.Template:Sfn

After the Christianization of the Slavs, the eparchy was revived, and from 1018 it belonged to the Eastern Orthodox Archbishopric of Ohrid.Template:Sfn The region was later conquered by the Kingdom of Hungary, and the eparchy was suppressed at the beginning of the 13th century, while on the same territory the Roman Catholic Diocese of Srem was established. During the late Middle Ages, remaining Eastern orthodox Christians in the region of Srem came under the jurisdiction of the Serbian Metropolitans of Belgrade. The most notable of these was St Maksim Branković, metropolitan of Belgrade and Srem (died 1516) who built the Monastery of Krušedol.Template:Sfn During the 16th and 17th centuries they styled themselves as Metropolitans of Belgrade and Srem, and the eparchy was under jurisdiction of the Serbian Patriarchate of Peć.Template:Sfn

In 1708, when the autonomous Serbian Orthodox Metropolitanate was created within the Habsburg monarchy, the Eparchy of Srem became the archdiocese of the Metropolitan, whose seat was first in the Monastery of Krušedol, and then in Sremski Karlovci.Template:Sfn The Eparchy remained part of the Metropolitanate of Karlovci until the end of the First World War.

In 1920, when all the Serbian ecclesiastical provinces united into one Serbian Orthodox Church, the Eparchy of Srem, with its seat at Sremski Karlovci, came under the administration of Archbishop of Belgrade, who was also the Serbian Patriarch. Final unification of two eparchies was completed in 1931 when the Eparchy of Srem and the Archbishopric of Belgrade were united as the Archbishopric of Belgrade and Karlovci. During that period, the diocesan administration was delegated to titular bishops as archdiocesan vicars.Template:Fact

In 1947, the region of Srem was excluded from the Archbishopric of Belgrade and Karlovci, and re-established as the separate Eparchy of Srem. Although the name of the Archbishopric of Belgrade and Karlovci still includes the name of the town of Sremski Karlovci, that town is today part of the Eparchy of Srem and not of the Archbishopric of Belgrade and Karlovci.
