The inhabitants of Brcelo en Crmnica protested today over the alleged desecration of the tomb of Metropolitan Arsenij Plamenac in the monastery.

They claim that the Serbian Orthodox Church, through the priest Jovan Plamenac, “illegally and illegally dug over the grave of the Metropolitan of the Montenegrin Orthodox Church.”

The vicarious bishop in the Metropolitanate de Montenegro y el Litoral, Methodius, stated that a cross and an inscription should have been placed on the site of the tomb, where the metropolitan Arsenija Plamenac is supposed to lie, and that a plaque should have been erected to determine if someone else was buried there.

He said that the sisters, the clergy and the MCP have been caring for this monastery for decades, and all that is being done is to improve, not to desecrate the sanctuary.

He claims that nothing alarming or malicious happened in the monastery area, so several were able to see the motive for such a scam.

“Everything that will be done will be in accordance with the Administration for the Protection of Cultural Heritage, that is, all the competent institutions and under their supervision,” said the bishop.

The president of the Association of Crimeans on July 13, Zoran Lekovic, said that a couple of locals reacted to the excavation of the tomb, which was supposed to serve to determine the identity of those buried, and that people from outside came to the meeting.

“We are loyal to the church and the state and we always knew how to think intelligently and intelligently, I came if there was any excess to try to clarify this as our esteemed bishop did,” Lekovic said.

The president of the People’s Association of Crimea, Jovan Lekić, said that they had gathered at the holy place to protest, as people of Crimea and Montenegro, for the vandal, anti-Christian and anti-civilization act.

“Protest against the desecrated tomb of our metropolitan saint. I would like to believe that this is an isolated case, but history teaches us that it is not,” Lekić said.

He said that he would not allow the desecration of Montenegrin cultural and historical heritage.

Local resident Nenad Nikaljević said today at the protest that he heard that works were being carried out and that he entered the monastery from the other side and saw that Arsenij Plamenac’s grave was devastated.

“I did not believe that such a foolish act could have been committed. I am afraid it was not by accident and that it was not an act of ordinary devastation, because this building was protected as an immovable cultural treasure of Montenegro in 1950. No one had the right to enter Without contacting the state authorities, it had to be done according to protocol, it seems like the scenario we have seen in recent decades. “The state authorities will do everything possible to return to the situation prescribed by law,” said Nikaljevic.

He replied that he had not filed a complaint.

“What worries me as a Montenegrin is that there are 650 monasteries in Montenegro and none of them are my Montenegrin,” he said.

Nikaljevic also said that there was no information on who was behind this act, but that it could be assumed.

“I think the authorities know who did that, what was harmed and what part of the treasure was stolen from there. The demands are to return everything that was stolen and return everything to its original state,” Nikaljevic said.

Earlier today, Prime Minister-designate Zdravko Krivokapić condemned the desecration of Metropolitan Arsenij Plamenac’s grave at the gate of the Gornji Brčeli monastery.

“The desecration of any object, especially a sacred one, in Montenegro has always provoked the same attitude as if a sanctuary were hit. Each of these monuments is, above all, the attitude of each individual towards his family. I think it is something that it shouldn’t happen. in Montenegro. Those who do that cannot justify themselves with anything, “Krivokapic told Antena M.

He added that the protection of sacred buildings should be a general position in Montenegro.

“I have no power or authority to do anything at this time, but I believe that everything must be clearly prosecuted. Anything that someone has done wrong must be prosecuted according to the law, regardless of who it is. that the law is above every man and every individual, regardless of their name and who they are, “said Krivokapić on behalf of Antena M.
