In 2003, a new Apostolic Exarchate was created for Catholics of the Byzantine Rite in Serbia and Montenegro, the Apostolic Exarchate of Serbia and Montenegro. Its first and only exarch was bishop Đura Džudžar, who was appointed on August 28 (2003), with residence in Ruski Krstur.[1] This exarchate remained in association with the Eparchy of Križevci.
