The Archbishop of the Catholic Church in Bosnia, Vinko Puljic, is tested positive for the coronavirus and is experiencing mild symptoms, the Archdiocese said on Tuesday.

Puljic is currently at home in self-isolation, it said.

Pope Francis has recently extended Puljic’s mandate, although the Bosnian religious leader turned 75 and, in accordance with Church rules, requested retirement.
