Bishop pledges support for Hague fugitives

Filaret’s statement came after Montenegrin police refused to allow him to enter that country on grounds that the Tribunal listed him among the fugitives’ aides.

“I am not familiar with their whereabouts, but I would certainly help them if I had a chance,” he said, stressing that both Karadžić and Mladić were “in his heart.”

Filaret added that on occasions he provided assistance to the families of Vojislav Šešelj and Momčilo Krajišnik, currently detained in the Hague pending trial.

Another SPC dignitary, Bishop Amfilohije based in Montenegro, slammed the recent Rolling Stones concerts held in Budva and Belgrade, dubbing the band members “atheists who sing demonic songs.”

“Mighty is a man that lives in fear of God, and that should be clear to those who brought the infamous group to Montenegro and Serbia to sing demonic songs and make our youth applaud the sight,” the bishop was quoted as saying.

Both dignitaries, ranking high in the SPC hierarchy, are seen as members of a more hard-line faction within the church.
