Montenegro rocked by violent clashes over church independence

[CommonSense]

I noticed that Croatians especially hate Serbian Orthodox Church. In their sick heads SOC is absolute evil and creator of Serbian nationalism and permanent Serbian aspirations for the expansion on Croatian territories.

Not only them, but all of our neighbours, except Romanians and Hungarians, have adopted that narrative. Even the newly-fabricated Docleans.

It's way too nationalistic. It ruins an otherwise good step to unifying the church.

Serbian identity in Montenegro has been attacked since 1941. Finally Serbs in Montenegro after the many decades raised their heads. In 1990 bishop Amfilohije Radović began to renew church life in Montenegro which was most atheistic republic in Yugoslavia. Result of 30 years of his work are that hundreds of churches and monasteries have come to life, and large part of people became religious again. In the same time his work preserved Serbian identity among significant part of Orthodox population of Montenegro. Serbs of Montenegro and Montenegrins who are followers of SOC now are one of the most religious Christians in the former Yugoslavia and Balkans, and 30 years ago they were the biggest atheist in Yugoslavia. SOC is very important part of their identity, and nationalistic symbols in Podgorica are normal.
Anti-Serbian Montenegrins are mostly declared atheists.

Thats what Catholic clergy teach them.


Friar Srećko Perić, whose sister was married to a Serb, addressed the gathered Croats in the spring of 1941 from the altar of the church in the Livno district:
"Brother Croats, go and slaughter all Serbs, and first slaughter my sister who is married to a Serb. When you have finished this work, come to me in the church, where I will confess you, and all your sins will be forgiven. ”

My Father escaped from USSR thru Belgrade, the airport guards thought he was using fake passport so they put all these marker stains in his passport to check if it was real. They probably thought he was Montenegrin or Bosniak

Honestly, I've never been in Iasi but the whole eastern part, especially north-eastern is depressing and looks typical eastern european like Ukraine with near 0 government investments and care, some old buildings, parks(don't care about this), museums(neither about these) and the rest is plain communism architecture. In this aspect, Bucharest is a far better commie place and probably has 10x more things to see.

For visiting Romania, from where I've been I'd strongly recommend Brasov and the surrounding region(looks miles different than the rest of Romania, generally speaking, whole Transilvania does so), and obv the Black Sea county Constanta for the sea while keeping in mind that in Romania tourism has been worth 0 for the romanian government in the past decades who is to preoccupied to steal from wherever they can, in fact with or without tourism probably nothing changes in terms of our government spendings.

I've spent some days in Northeastern Romania this summer and it's a beautiful region with many interesting places, green landscapes and nice people, nothing depressing about it.

Some pictures I took while driving through some communes

Spoiler!

I plan to visit Iasi because of relics of St. Paraskeva.
But of course, since I live in Belgrade, I will travel through Romanian part of Banat and through Transilvania to reach Iasi.
So across entire Romania.

I was already in Timisoara, it is very close Serbian border, and indeed it is gorgeous city.

If you plan on visiting Iasi, then you should definitely try to visit the UNESCO monasteries as well

Many Croatian Catholic priests slaughtered Serbs with their own hands or called for the extermination of Serbs. Miroslav Filipović (with nick "fra Satan") is one of the many, but most famous who killed Serbs with own hands https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miroslav_Filipović
Names of some other Croatian Catholic priests who personally killed Serbs or called/blessed genocide on Serbs: Ivan Šarić, Kvirin Bonefačić, Antun Đurić, Viktor Burić, Josip Srebrnić, Krunoslav Draganović, Antun Akšamović, Herman Častimir, Ivan Mikan, Josip Gunčević, Ivan Šimić, Nikola Ivanković, Julije Kožul, Serafim Vištica, Oton Knezović, Rade Glavaš, Jure Vrdoljak, Ante Čule, Petar Čule, Ilija Tomas, Silvije Franković etc.

Professor Viktor Novak (ethnic Croatian) said/wrote: Don Ilija Tomas Catholic priest in Klepci and Loznica near Čapljina in Herzegovina gathered group of local Serbs in church to converting them on Catholicism, but then he handed them over to the ustashe who took them on Bivolje Brdo and there they were throw into a karst pit after torture.
