"This government and its prime minister didn't fulfill promises given to the Serbian Orthodox Church or our expectations, and they don't have our trust. We have to talk within the ruling majority," Mandic told media.
"Discrimination against the Serbian Orthodox Church continues"
The rector of the Seminary St. Peter of Cetine, Gojko Perovic stated that it has been going on for years.
Media: Joanikije revealed what happened at the meeting of Porfirije and Krivokapić
He explained that he asked for that, and not to interfere in the election of the Metropolitan of Montenegro and the Littoral.

"We have arranged with His Holiness to agree on the date of signing the basic agreement. I am looking forward to the election of a new Metropolitan of Montenegro and the Littoral with great faith that he will lead the people like his predecessor, the blessed Metropolitan Amfilohije," said Krivokapic who met with the Serbian patriarch in Belgrade on Thursday afternoon.
Serbian Patriarch Porfirije is surprised, worried and regrets Krivokapic's decision
According to the statement, the topic of conversation was the Basic Agreement between the Serbian Orthodox Church and the Government of Montenegro. The meeting was also attended by Metropolitan Chrysostom of Dabar-Bosnia, Bishop Jovan of umadija and Bishop Joanikije of the eparchy of Budimlja-Niki.
"Nobody in Montenegro sees that except Djukanovic"
He stated that the people won the elections, and that the clergy contributed to that victory to some extent. "It is clear to every normal person why we do not do that. If we would not allow the government to determine when we will be ordained to the rank of priest, then we should not interfere in government personnel decisions," Bishop Joanikije told today's Politika.
