Joanikije enthroned - he made address after the liturgy; tear gas, shock bombs VIDEO

Speech of the Metropolitan after the enthronement: "If we seek good together, peace will be even closer to us".
The Metropolitan of Montenegro and the Littoral, Joanikije, said today that "it will take a long time to overcome these divisions".
After he was enthroned in the Cetinje monastery, he said that a lot of divisions could be seen in Cetinje, which, as he says, were artificially caused. "We did everything to avoid them, but we will need a lot of time," he said. "By your arrival and sharing your concerns, you have shown great love for the entire people of Montenegro," Joanikije said in his address to Serbian Patriarch Porfirije.
"The bishop unites all services in the church, he unites the faithful with their various gifts, knowledge and experiences. Let's exchange not malice, but good will. If we seek good together, peace will be even closer to us," Joanikije said.
