Director of the Institute for Public Health, Dr Boban Mugoša, said today that religious processions organized by the Serbian Orthodox Church in Montenegro “won’t be taking place due to increased risk and surge in the number of coronavirus cases”.
“We had justified reason to propose this to the Metropolitanate and religious communities supported us. Metroplitanate said religious procession wouldn’t be taking place”, Dr Mugoša said at the press conference.
He claims that there’s no politics in the new decisions of the NCB.
“We held fair and open talks today. We touched on everything and concluded that our actions have nothing to do with politics. We propose measures in accordance with profession”, Dr Mugoša pointed out.
He said that political reunions might entail risk and called on the competent authorities to take measures in relation to the fact that elections are scheduled for the end of August.
