GI "21. maj": Division within Serbian nationalist politics will also lead to differences within the dioceses of the Serbian Orthodox Church

"Part of the clergy will follow the trail of Amfilohije's autonomism and move closer to Mandić, while the remaining regiments will follow anti-European ethno-phyletism tailored to Belgrade and Moscow," the Civic Initiative "21 May" believes.

The Montenegrin political scene is becoming increasingly turbulent ahead of the 2027 parliamentary elections, and a division has begun within the "Serbian clerical-nationalist community", according to the Civic Initiative "21 May".

"Mandić began adapting to Brussels following a belated reflection on Novak Kilibarda. Although Klibarda was far superior to the current Mandić, the fact is that the NSD is trying to cloak its Greater Serbia and neo-Chetnik revisionism in a Brussels overcoat," the statement reads.

This will not, they said, be possible without "distancing themselves from the patronage" of Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić.

"On the other hand, the remaining part of Serbian nationalist politics will concentrate around Knežević's party, which has tied its fate to the anti-European and discredited Belgrade regime. This division will inevitably lead to differences within the dioceses of the Serbian Orthodox Church. Part of the clergy will follow the path of Amfilohije's autonomism and move closer to Mandić, while the remaining regiments will follow anti-European ethno-phyletism tailored to Belgrade and Moscow," say the GI "21. maj".
