Do you know what a Montenegrin embarrassment that is? You know family-wise what it looks like &#8211; that, God forbid, someone you did not respect gives a speech, say to my father or I do not know to whom,&#8221; said Krivokapi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nova.rs wrote in 2020 that it had information that the bishops unanimously decided that Vu\u010di\u0107 could not speak at Amfilohije&#8217;s funeral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As this portal added, citing an unnamed interlocutor, one of the bishops was particularly against Vu\u010di\u0107&#8217;s address, because, as they stated, he had trampled on the Kosovo covenant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The bishops agreed last night that it is good that Vu\u010di\u0107 came to Podgorica to ask for forgiveness from Metropolitan Amfilohije, but that it is not worthy for him to speak over his coffin,&#8221; a source from Nova.rs from the Metropolis said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Media close to the regime today released the news that the patriarch is asking for Vu\u010di\u0107 to speak. The truth is that Vu\u010di\u0107&#8217;s people pressured Joanikije and asked Patriarch Irinej to allow his address. The patriarch conveyed that message, but the bishops repeated their position that it is impossible and inappropriate,&#8221; added the Nova.rs source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DOveuqBjGyp\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

And the second and equally important reason is the story about Kosovo. It is no coincidence that Bishop Atanasije, over the coffin of his best friend, reminded Vu\u010di\u0107 of the Kosovo covenant and said that there is no betrayal,&#8221; the Nova.rs interlocutor explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amfilohije said in 2018 that Vu\u010di\u0107&#8217;s policy leads to &#8220;the betrayal of Serbia and Kosovo&#8221;, to which Vu\u010di\u0107 said that the statement hurt and personally affected him because he did not deserve it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following year, Amfilohije called Vu\u010di\u0107 an ignoramus, commenting on his statement that &#8220;the Montenegrin autocephalous church exists de facto and de jure even before the establishment of independence in 2006&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The President of Serbia said that he would not respond with insults to insults, because it is not appropriate for him and because he does not want to further divide the people in Montenegro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I would have a lot to say about the results around Kosovo and Montenegro, and to him (Metropolitan Amfilohije) and those he supported, and especially to those he is most critical of,&#8221; said Vu\u010di\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Krivokapi\u0107 assessed, speaking about the influence of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Montenegro, that it wants to and &#8220;it is its legitimate right, but while Metropolitan Amfilohije was alive, it could not realize that influence anywhere.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/serbia-won-another-medal-svetlana-and-ivana-won-bronze-at-the-european-pickleball-championship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">SERBIA WON ANOTHER MEDAL: Svetlana and Ivana Won Bronze at the European Pickleball Championship!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/like-when-milosevic-was-overthrown-the-washington-post-on-student-protests-military-parade-and-europes-silence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">\u201cLIKE WHEN MILO\u0160EVI\u0106 WAS OVERTHROWN\u201d: The Washington Post on Student Protests, Military Parade and Europe\u2019s Silence!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/monument-to-tesla-in-manhattan-mayor-of-new-york-supported-the-initiative-of-consul-general-bozovic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">MONUMENT TO TESLA IN MANHATTAN: Mayor of New York Supported the Initiative of Consul General Bo\u017eovi\u0107!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/golden-talents-of-serbian-kickboxing-junior-national-team-brought-19-medals-from-the-european-championship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">GOLDEN TALENTS OF SERBIAN KICKBOXING: Junior National Team Brought 19 Medals from the European Championship!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><strong>Source<\/strong>:&nbsp;<\/strong>N1, <strong>Photo<\/strong>: Mitropolija crnogorsko-primorska<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The former Prime Minister of Montenegro Zdravko Krivokapi\u0107 said in the TV E show that there was pressure for the President of Serbia Aleksandar Vu\u010di\u0107 to speak at the funeral of the Metropolitan of Montenegro and the Littoral Amfilohije, but that it did not happen, because it would be a &#8220;Montenegrin embarrassment.&#8221;
