I believe that positions of both sides will be clear in the coming days, and that the Government and the Metropolitanate of Montenegro and the Littoral, MCP, will find ways to overcome differences by upholding the common values, said Deputy Prime Minister, Mr Zoran Pažin, in an interview for MINA news agency.
Mr Pažin said he backed the messages of the representatives of the MCP that called for dialogue and respect for differences in the Montenegrin society.
“I especially welcome the recent statement of the rector of the Cetinje school of theology Gojko Perović who urged to avoid hostility among Montenegro citizens, as we need each other and there’s a lot of space for all believers in the Cetinje monastery.“
The Deputy Prime Minister is also convinced that the agreement and understanding are reachable if representatives of the Metropolitanate stick to such positions and if those values would represent the basis for dialogue.
“Likewise, I am sure that intolerance for a different opinion or sharp rhetoric against the Prime Minister or the President will not bring our views closer,” Mr Pažin was adamant.
He also recalled that Prime Minister Duško Marković on several occasions noted the govt was ready to start dialogue with the MCP about regulating mutual relations and additional protection of its [the MCP’s] rights and interests, thorough signing a thorough contract.
