Peace in Montenegro is dramatically endangered by
the announcements of the enthronement of the Metropolitan of the
Serbian Orthodox Church in the Cetinje Monastery. The current
government in Montenegro thus continues the previous
anti-Montenegrin and anti-Western policy, which has shattered
interethnic and inter-confessional harmony, based on the
anti-fascist tradition, civil and secular state, and the firm
commitment of the majority of citizens to EU membership and NATO.
The current government in Montenegro is an
instrument of the dark goals of Greater Serbia policy, which
resulted in genocide, ethnic cleansing and the most serious war
crimes in Europe after the Second World War. Today, the target of
the same policy is the state of Montenegro and its national
minorities, and especially the Montenegrin Orthodox Church,
Montenegrins and all features of cultural and historical identity
and tradition of the Montenegrin people, among which the Cetinje
Monastery has been one of the most important symbols for centuries.
The announced enthronement of the Metropolitan of
the Serbian Orthodox Church in the Cetinje Monastery, despite the
clear opposition of the vast majority of Cetinje citizens, would be
a symbolic act of complete submission of Montenegro to Greater
Serbia policy and destroy peace and security of citizens, which
would have unforeseeable consequences not only in Montenegro but
also abroad its borders.
That is why we call on the European Union and the
United States of America to urgently influence the authorities of
Serbia and Montenegro, and the Serbian Orthodox Church to cancel the
scheduled ceremony in the Cetinje Monastery.
