Danas journalist Božidar Andrejić stated in Novi Dan that Metropolitan Amfilohije’s funeral was “without a doubt a political event”. “Considering the long-term activity of the metropolitan Amfilohije, who was still one of the main politicians in the church for a long time,” says Andrejic.

Speaking about the funeral of Metropolitan Amfilohije, he says that he did not watch the broadcast closely, but that he saw the news.

“First of all, we must express our regret to the Serbian Orthodox Church believers who mourn Metropolitan Amfilohije, but everything else was a political event,” he says.

He points out that “the funeral is undoubtedly a political event.”

“Considering the long-term activity of the metropolitan Amfilohije, who was still one of the main politicians in the church for a long time,” says Andrejic.

The second factor, he adds, is their participation, that is, a certain type of leadership in those events’ Church of the Serbian Liturgy in Montenegro
Burning”.

So from that point of view, it’s understandable that it was a political event. Emphasizing the whole thing only on the insecurity of a pandemic is a secondary theme, but it also shows something that is an essential story about the connection between church and state in our country. to the Balkans. Those ties between the Church and the State are very strong, “he says.

Speaking about the presence of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic at the funeral, he said that “it is indisputable that these events in Montenegro, as in other former republics, are closely related to the strategy to strengthen the attention of the Serbian people in all parts of the diaspora” .

“Which is understandable on the one hand when it comes to cultural and other ties, but here we see that this influence is indirectly accentuated by the fact that some money was invested in the Serbian House, that in some way, that emphasis because the material is in question, somehow on the one hand, it seems a kind of emphasis on some kind of interference, and on the other hand, the strategy that the Serbian people should be united, is very small due to the political action of our leadership, ”says Andrejić.

Speaking of Gordana Comic’s appointment as minister, she thinks that “the attitude towards her will be significantly subordinate to the fact that her portfolio will be in her ministry.”

“I give credit in relation to the portfolio it has. I think the idea of ​​having that portfolio will be extinguished before 100 days, it will not develop, it is like that internal dialogue on Kosovo,” says Andrejic, adding that toy with split springs “.
