On Monday, a memorial service was held for Chetnik leader Dragoljub Draža Mihailović in the church of Saint Vasilij Ostroški in Nikšić.
Mihailović was shot by the authorities of the Federative People's Republic of Yugoslavia (FNRJ) on July 17, 1946. Two days earlier, the Supreme Court of the FNRJ sentenced him to death by firing squad, permanent loss of political and civil rights and confiscation of all property, for treason, cooperation with the occupiers and numerous war crimes committed by the Chetniks he commanded.
Mihailović was shot in the vicinity of Belgrade.
As stated on the website of the Eparchy of Budimljansko Nikšić, the liturgy was attended by, among others, the President of the Municipality of Nikšić Marko Kovačević, the President of the SO Nikšić Nemanja Vuković, the Ambassador of Russia to Montenegro Vladislav Maslenikov...
Bishop Metodije of Budimlja Nikšić said, among other things, that "Russia is the hope of the entire freedom-loving world".
"In holy Russia there is hope for the salvation of not only the Orthodox nations, but the whole of Europe and the world".
Metodije also said that "the constant fascination of our and the Russian elite with the Western hedonistic model, turned against themselves, has brought a lot of evil to the Serbian and Russian people."
Assessing that Russia is coming back to itself, Methodius, reports the Diocese of Budimljansko Nikšić, stated that the entire 20th century "was reduced to the struggle against Orthodoxy, and that today it is clear that the events of 1917 were tragic not only for Russia, but also for the whole world, including us".
"Physical war is only a consequence of a long-term metaphysical struggle and warfare between the forces of good and evil. The slandered war of Crnjanski is at work again. Hatred for Russia, Russia's religion and traditions is something that has lasted for centuries. However, I am convinced that our children and grandchildren will live in to the world that understands the importance of Russia. If there is no awareness of this, there will be no Russia, and I'm afraid there will be no world that we love."
Methodius called us to "be what we are" and called for the words of Saint Peter of Cetinje to be translated to today's time "Cursed be every Montenegrin who renounces himself. And that means Christ, Orthodoxy, Russia, Serbia and its honorable and bright root of the holy lineage Nemanjić and Petrović".
DPS Nikšić: Kovačević and Vuković dedicated to everything that goes against anti-fascist and civic values of Montenegro
The municipal board of the DPS Nikšić announced that the presence of the leadership of the Municipality of Nikšić at the memorial to the notorious Chetnik general Draža Mihailović, "proves to what extent both Kovačević and Vuković are dedicated to everything that goes against anti-fascist and civic values of Montenegro".
"The absence of any principle, even a moral one, shows that in the morning they lay flowers on the monument to Ljub Čupić, and in the evening they pay tribute to Uncle Draža, by whose comrades the national hero was shot. What kind of message is the leadership of the local administration sending by paying tribute to the collaborator of the occupier and the leader of the movement that did everything it could to thwart the anti-fascist People's Liberation Movement in the fight for the freedom of citizens - let the public judge for themselves," states the press release of OO DPS Nikšić.
They called "conscientious members of the majority in Nikšić", to support their initiative for the dismissal of the local government and Kovačević, who, as they stated, "with their every action, are ruining the city and humiliating every anti-fascist in it".
"In the past parliamentary elections, we saw that they no longer even have the support of the citizens - so ending this farce, which is extremely harmful for the whole of Nikšić, is the only fair solution".
Vuković: In the invitation, there was no mention of mention to anyone except the founders and priests of the church
Vuković stated on his Facebook profile that he was invited by the Diocese of Budimlja Nikšić to the foundation celebration of the Cathedral Church of Saint Basil of Ostrog and that he attended the liturgy as a believer.
He also stated that in the invitation, there was no mention of mention to anyone except the founders and priests of the church.
"It is clear the intention of the group of fringes to try to discredit Democratic Montenegro and me personally, but they only need to go back five days - to July 13, and our actions will completely deny their malicious constructions. I hope that the next statement of the group marginals, refer to the son of Zoran Lazović, Petar, and another official of the Police Administration, Ljubo Milović, with which they will condemn, if they have nothing else at all, at least the spread of religious and national hatred by singing songs calling for the slaughter of members of other religions and nations," he said. is Vuković.
