Legitimate theft of property is not a reason for panic. This statement was made by the American ambassador to Serbia Anthony Gordfrey, commenting on the situation with the scandalous law “On Religious Freedom” adopted in Montenegro, which actually legitimizes the local schismatic religious organization to the detriment of the canonical Serbian Orthodox Church.
In particular, the new legislation will allow for the seizure of its property from the TWS and its transfer to dissenters from the unrecognized Montenegrin Orthodox Church.
As News Front previously reported, the situation in Montenegro entailed mass protests by believers. At the same time, the security forces do not spare the demonstrators, beating even the clergy.
However, the American ambassador to Serbia recommended that no action be taken, but only to observe how the scenario of a church schism, which had previously been tested in Ukraine, is being repeated in Montenegro.
