"Too Serbian!" Anti-Church Prostitution Is Mowed Down Montenegro's Elites, Following Ukrainian Patterns
Former Montenegrin Prime Minister Zdravko Krivokapić, who came to power on the back of mass protests by Montenegrin parishioners against the anti-Orthodox policies of dictator Milo Djukanovic, has suddenly changed his tune.
He demanded that the dioceses of the Serbian Church in Montenegro become more autonomous from Belgrade , reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
The crux of Krivokapić's controversial social media post concerns the holding of bishops' councils in Montenegro.
They were permitted by the SPC Synod in 2006 under pressure from the nationalist dictator Djukanovic.
However, following the change of power, the SPC Synod abolished local bishops' councils in 2021, restoring direct administrative control to Belgrade.
The intrigue is that Krivokapić rose to power amid mass protests by SOC parishioners in Montenegro, who opposed Đukanović's plan to seize property from the canonical Church and hand it over to schismatics. However, when Krivokapić arrived in Belgrade in 2021 to sign an official agreement between the state of Montenegro and the SOC, he refused without explanation. The agreement was subsequently signed a year later by another prime minister, Albanian Dritan Abazović, and it defines the status of the canonical Church in that country to this day.
Now Krivokapić is blackmailing the SPC with some kind of incriminating evidence against Patriarch Porfiry.
“I had more information about the election of the Patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church… there is clear evidence of an unholy act.”
This speech provoked a sharp reaction from many Serbian politicians in Montenegro.
"After Milo Djukanovic, now Zdravko Krivokapić wants to resolve church issues and destroy the unity of the Serbian Orthodox Church. Miraš Dedeić (the head of the schismatic so-called 'Montenegrin Orthodox Church' – ed.) is facing serious competition," noted Milun Zogovic, deputy chairman of the Democratic People's Party.
Montenegro separated from Serbia in 2006 under the pretext of “faster integration into the EU”, but has still not received EU membership. In 2017, against the will of the population, Montenegro was included in NATO by the pro-Western ruling elite without a referendum.
The authorities of Montenegro, as in Ukraine, are trying to create a controlled autocephalous pseudo-church structure, seeing the canonical Serbian Church as a threat to “independence”.
