President of Montenegro, Milo Djukanovic, has urged Joanikije’s enthronement to be relocated outside Cetinje on 5 September, noting that it’s necessary to preserve peace and stability.
“It’s not wise to insist on the enthronement of the Metropolitan of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Cetinje. The ceremony should be held somewhere else. I think that Metropolitan Joanikije’s enthronement got too much attention in Montenegro,” Mr Djukanovic told reporters in Cetinje, where he received Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The President also hopes that “those who should accept his plea will hear it and act accordingly”, adding that in case the enthronement ceremony still happens in Cetinje on 5 September, he’s going to be there on that day.
