The “Church of Montenegro” said that they will not be given the tomos, as the OCU, because of the lack of state support for their structure

On September 3, 2023, a “council” of the “Montenegrin Orthodox Church” was held in Cetinje, which “retired” its head “Metropolitan” Mihailo Dedeic. Instead of him, “bishop” Boris Bojovic was elected “Primate”. However, Dedeic did not recognize his “deposition”, moreover, he was supported by other “bishops”. Pravblog writes about it.

In addition to Dedeic and Bojovic in the “Montenegrin Orthodox Church” there are two more “bishops”. They are “archbishop” of Kotor and Primorski Simeon Minihofer and “bishop” of Argentine Gorazd Glomazic. They both had already publicly confirmed their loyalty to Mihail Dedeic and signed the synodal act of depriving Boris Bojovic of his “ministry”. Glomazic received Bojovic’s “pulpit” for this.

In addition, experts who also support Dedeic are sure that the situation in the “Montenegrin Church” will not allow it to repeat the path of the OCU.

“No one will not give a tomos to someone who does not have authority in Orthodoxy through knowledge and valid university degrees, which Bojovic does not have. No one will give a tomos where there is no built infrastructure. We don’t even have a church choir, a seminary and academy, and Bojovic knows this very well. Now we also do not have the support from the state authorities that the believers in Ukraine had,” wrote “subdeacon” Bulat Bulatovich in particular.
