Montenegro adopts law on religion amid protests by pro-Serbs
The Parliament of Montenegro adopted a contested law on religious rights after chaotic scenes in the assembly that resulted in the detention of all pro-Serb opposition legislators.
The vote on Friday followed a day of nationwide protests by supporters of the Serbian Orthodox Church who say the law will strip the church of its property, including medieval monasteries and churches. The government has denied that.
I have read the article several times and I am not sure what it is all about. My best guess is that this is a proxy war that is using religion to break down support for Serbia and its institutions. Maybe Mortimer could give us a steer in between taking selfies ?
