Montenegrin nationalists attacked the SOC seminary in Cetinje
Radical Montenegrin Comite nationalists attacked the building of the Theological Seminary of St. Peter of Cetinje, damaging doors and windows, shouting insults against Serbs and Orthodoxy.
The incident occurred after Montenegro President Milo Djukanovic spoke on a state channel about the “threat to the Serbian world,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The attack on the seminary took place today at about two o'clock in the morning in front of the boarding school of the Cetinje Seminary in the suburban village of Donje Polje.
The nationalists arrived there, shouting insults and threats against the Serbs and the SOC, and began to destroy whatever they could get their hands on. They damaged the building's doors and windows and then dragged trash containers across the street and set them on fire. Afterwards, the attackers got into their cars and drove off towards the city center, shouting that they would return.
Full details of this incident were reported to the Cetinje police at around 10:20 am.
“Our desire and call (especially to the residents of Cetinje) is that the tension caused by political and media manipulation, as well as constant unfounded provocations and criticism of the Serbian Orthodox Church from the lips of the highest government officials in the context of socio-political events in Montenegro, “did not have a negative impact on our youth and did not spoil the God-blessed public order and peace of our capital,” the rector of the seminary, Father Gojko Perović, addressed the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Montenegro, Sergei Sekulovic. “The leadership of the seminary does not remember that a similar attack occurred in the last ten years, and our students did not give any reason for this.”
Tellingly, the attack on the seminary occurred after a speech by the President of Montenegro, nationalist Milo Djukanovic, on the state television channel RTCG in the Teleskopija program.
“The new government was formed under the auspices of one religious community - the Serbian Orthodox Church... The season of eating (the country) began on August 30 (on the day of the parliamentary elections, in which the Democratic Party of Socialists - DPS, Djukanovic was defeated - ed.), and now everything is eaten , which is related to the traffic police,” Djukanovic said.
The dictator who ruled Montenegro since 1991, to please the West and NATO, tore it away from Serbia, warned viewers that “Greater Serbian nationalism is trying to maliciously influence Montenegro under the new motto of the “Serbian world”, without abandoning the project of Greater Serbia, the name of which was only changed. He drew attention to the fact that “someone from the house is trying to set fire to the house itself.”
