Saint Paisios Agioritis said that at that time 800 monks from Holy Montain will go in Romania. So, Romania and maybe some parts of Russia or other countries will have places of orthodox resistance until the end.   Probably because there is a huge pressure from EU that women to be let visiting Holy Mountain it will happen at some point. But that will happen not mainly because of the political pressure but because of the secularization inside the peninsula which will have like consequence the dimininishing of grace of God there. In the end, Holy Mountain will be more like Meteora monastic complex , more a touristic than a spiritual destination.</blockquote>
