The Montenegrin authorities want to take away the Ostrog and Zdrebaonik shrines from the Orthodox
The anti-church law in Montenegro has already begun to take effect, and cadastral services began to provide information about church property to the State Property Office.
The lawyer of the Montenegrin-Litovian Metropolis Dalibor Kavarić stated this to the Montenegrin publication Serbian News, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The legal service of the Montenegrin-Litovian Metropolis of the SOC has prepared a request to the Constitutional Court to review the constitutionality of the Law “On Freedom of Religion.”
“The text of the document has already been drawn up, but will be officially published only after approval by certain church bodies,” lawyer Dragan Soch told the public. “It depends on when it will be transferred to the Constitutional Court.”
In turn, another lawyer of the Montenegrin-Littoral Metropolis, Dalibor Kavarić, reported that, contrary to the will of hundreds of thousands of Montenegrin citizens, the anti-church law has already begun to take effect.
“Some cadastral services have begun to provide information on church property to the State Property Office, which subsequently uses it to accuse them of ‘misappropriation of church property,’” Kavarić said. – The first target and victim of the state policy of building national identity will be the greatest shrines: St. Basil of Ostrosh and the Ostrog monastery and St. Arseniy and the Zhdrebaonik monastery... It was no coincidence that they started with these monasteries, because they believe that if they succeed, then it will be easy for them further "

At the same time as the pressure on the church, Podgorica continues to treat Serbian identity in a similar way. Thus, last week, the local Serbian TV channel and radio station, as well as the cultural complex “Serbian House” in Podgorica, were not working for XNUMX hours. This happened due to the complex’s electricity debts, which were repaid only a day later.

“Without disputing the claims regarding electricity consumption, we also note that the projects of Serbian organizations involved in preserving the identity of the Serbian people in Montenegro did not receive the support of state funds,” said the press service of the Serbian House. “Of the total amount of four million euros allocated from the budget for human and minority rights, less than one percent goes to Serbian organizations, although the Serbian people make up almost half of the population of Montenegro.”
