Ionikije, Bishop of Budva -Niksic says the secrecy of Kosovo is hidden in the souls of the people, until, there, he mentions the Battle of Kosovo.
The deep perception of Kosovo and Metohija has been sealed in the soul of our people and it operates at least from the Battle of Kosovo to the present day. This secret belongs only to peoples who have a rich background, great history, and great culture”, he said.
In addition, the same adds that it should not give up identity until it speaks of Kosovo.
These are essential things to the identity of a people, and we are not allowed to give up, as we dare not give up our soul, our mind, our memory, and everything that is of value before God and people”, he said.
After the death of Bishop Amfilohje, Ionanikiye has temporarily replaced him until he is one of the main contenders for appointment.
In May of this year, Bishop Ionanikiye and seven priests of the Serbian Orthodox Church had been arrested.
We remember there were tensions even before the pandemic crisis when Serbs blocked roads and created irregularities in the Montenegrin parliament as a result of voting a new law on religious freedom.
