David: To attribute to me that by the term "Serbian Ustashas" I meant students of the University of Belgrade is a heinous lie...

The Metropolitan of Kruševac of the Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC), David, denied that he called the students Ustashas, ​​protesting, as he stated in a statement, malicious posts on social networks regarding his text, which was presented on the website of the Kruševac Diocese under the title "Puffers, Manitos and People of Religion", N1 reports today.

"Caught by the act, they mourn their copies because none of them are the original; and it is known that they will never reach originality. That is why there are mirrors..., not for souls but for the scoundrels. They roam the streets, gather consensus, and even have their own ayvanli-pashas who train them to become 'Serbian Ustashas' and the new demons of the Lubyanka," it is written, among other things, in the 11th paragraph of David's text.

"To attribute to me that by the term 'Serbian Ustashas' I meant students of Belgrade University is a heinous lie, a reading of someone else's thoughts and subterfuge," David said in a statement published on the SPC website.

As he pointed out, students were neither mentioned, nor was he referring to them, which, as he said, is obvious when one reads at least the two paragraphs that preceded this "incriminating paragraph."

Six priests of the Serbian Orthodox Church, including Metropolitan Joanikije of Montenegro and the Littoral, announced today that the Serbian Orthodox Church does not think that "our students are Serbian Ustashas", and said that David, in his text, which was also published on the official website of the Serbian Orthodox Church, places the students in the context of a "colored revolution", labeling them in such a way that they are perceived as "Serbian Ustashas", which is both offensive and unacceptable.
