Latest provocation in Montenegro: Embattled President Đukanović threatens to deport Serbian clerics

Embattled Montenegro President Milo Đukanović this week continued his attack on the Serbian Orthodox Church in the small Adriatic republic, even after his party lost last year’s general election and the new government overturned a controversial law that threatened religious institutions’ assets and relics, especially those of the Metropolitanate of Montenegro and the Littoral.

Days after attempting to block a law by the new government on religious freedoms I Montenegro, Đukanović impudently threatened clerics that are Serbian citizens with deportation from the country.

His quip came in response to statements by Archpriest Velibor Jomic, who underlined that there are more Orthodox Church clerics in Montenegro than there are soldiers, a comment that apparently irked Đukanović, a career politician since his college days, to no end. He also again claimed that such comments threaten Montenegro’s identity.
