The Kotor police have identified the suspect for damaging two capitals on the balustrade of the monumental staircase of the parish church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Prčanje.

As "Vijesti" has learned unofficially, it is about a minor MO from Prčanje.

Accompanied by his parents, he admitted to the police the commission of this crime.

Allegedly, the minor was in a drunken state at the time he damaged the balustrade, and there are no nationalistic or religious intolerance motives behind his inappropriate action.

This is why even the Kotor Diocese, even though it is, as they pointed out, "horrified by the sacrilege of this act", will not join the criminal or misdemeanor prosecution of minors.

His parents apologized to the Diocese and the priest of Prčany, Don Željko Pasković, for the inappropriate and thoughtless actions of their minor son and expressed their willingness to compensate for the damage caused.

The police informed the prosecutor on duty at the Basic State Prosecutor's Office in Kotor about everything, who needs to declare whether the actions of the Ministry of Defense have the characteristics of criminal or misdemeanor responsibility.

Pasković said that he was disappointed by the behavior of the minors and thanked the competent services - the police in Kotor, the Municipal Inspection and the Municipality of Kotor.

He also thanked the author of the text, as well as the President of the Municipality, Vladimir Jokić.

"The said person did it out of stupidity, his parents deeply regret the wrongdoing and accept all responsibility. I sincerely hope that all this will be a warning to parents to take a little more care about where their children are, as well as to all of us who make up the community let's not draw premature conclusions and spread hatred among us, because we are too much squeezed by these mountains to be able to move away as much as some people think we should. Well, since we are already so squeezed together, let's work together so that such sacrilegious and vandalistic acts will not happen be less," said Pasković.
