The case of the detention of the deceased Metropolitan Amfilohije of the Metropolitanate of Montenegro and the Littoral in CB Podgorica will also be discussed at the plenum.
Among the conclusions, which will be forwarded to the deputies, it is written that "the truth should finally be known about who, how and why led to the selective action of the authorities of the time in order to cover up the affair and conceal the perpetrators of criminal and other illegal acts".
"The control hearing provided the opportunity for the public to be informed and learn that it was a politically motivated revanchism and persecution of a religious dignitary during his fight for the protection of the constitutional rights of his religious community, which he led... It is likely that the police officers from certain persons had the order to act in this way, which needs to be clarified to the end through the actions of the competent prosecutor's office", is one of the conclusions.
The board stated that the government at that time did not have due respect for Amfilohi.
"The board assessed that in the conditions of the unscrupulous persistence of the then current political authorities in achieving their goals, there was a lack of due respect towards the elderly person, as well as an appropriate attitude towards proven authority based on values, thereby violating the dignity of the person as a protected constitutional value", emphasized is in their estimation.
