Milo Djukanovic spoke in Podgorica late on Monday to say that his ruling party was "in favor of an independent Orthodox church in Montenegro". The Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) leader and former Montenegrin president and prime minister said that the party's desire came "because it wishes to overcome heated divisions among Orthodox faithful". Ex-PM Djukanovic sees "united independent church" He noted that another reason was that the Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC) Metropolitanate of Montenegro and the Littoral was "not in accordance with the interests of Montenegro". Speaking for Montenegro's state broadcaster, Djukanovic stated that the metropolitanate was "autonomous, but still a part of the Serbian Orthodox Church", and thus "not sufficiently in line with Montenegro's national interests". His party announced an initiative to "unite the Orthodox church in Montenegro into an independent organizational unit". Beside the SPC, the canonically unrecognized Montenegrin Orthodox Church (CPC) is also active in that country. "The metropolitanate, however autonomous it may be, is a part of the Serbian Orthodox Church, whose headquarters is in Serbia, meaning a country that does not look favorably on Montenegro's independence. It functions by harmonizing its interest with the Serbian national interest. It is fairly logical that if we want an Orthodox church, it needs to be in harmony with the Montenegrin government," said Djukanovic. He concluded by saying that his party was interested in "full political stability". and wanted to "end the division that existed among the Orthodox". Milo Djukanovic (FoNet, file)
