It is concerning that the prime minister-designate is acting like a believer, the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) said today in a statement, emphasizing “that the pain and expressions of respect and esteem for the religious leader of the Serbian Orthodox Church, the Metropolitan Amfilohije, must not become an irresponsible euphoria in which everything is allowed. ” reports Vijesti.

(SOC), according to the late metropolitan Amfilohije, should not be an excuse for irresponsible behavior, which can cost us new human victims, announced today the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS).
“Scenes that we have witnessed in the last two days: a multitude of unauthorized individuals in the corridors of the health center, which is under a special regime during the epidemic and where civilians are not allowed to enter; printing believers in front of the scaffold, kissing objects in the same room of thousands of people at a time when the epidemic is raging in Montenegro, are truly unacceptable.
It is extremely irresponsible to ignore the dangerous potential of this virus, the consequences of which killed the religious leader of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Montenegro, but also more than a million people in the world, ”said DPS in a statement.
The DPS considers that it is worrying that the designated prime minister, as an active participant in these events, does not recognize the moment when, with his example and public appeal, he influences public awareness of the danger of such behavior.
“Contrary to what is expected of someone who should lead the government of citizens of all religions and nationalities, he appears in public announcements on social networks exclusively from the position of a propagandist of religion and a faithful believer of a church in Montenegro “.
As it is extremely unusual for the Public Service of all citizens of Montenegro to announce a live broadcast of the event, which according to all announcements may be risky for the health of a large number of people, which constitutes a direct violation of the measures of the National Coordination Team.
The statement adds that sadness and expressions of respect and esteem towards the religious leader of the Serbian Orthodox Church must not turn into “irresponsible euphoria in which everything is allowed.”
We invite all those involved in the organization of the farewell of the Metropolitan of the Serbian Orthodox Church to take into account all the challenges and, above all, those of health that accompany this event ”.
We call on everyone to respect the reasonable invitation to the citizens of the Metropolitanate from Friday to adhere to the prescribed measures, recalls DPS.
The remains of the Metropolitan Amfilohije of Montenegro and the Litoral were transferred today from Cetinje to the Church of the Resurrection of Christ in Podgorica, where tomorrow the Metropolitan will be buried.
