The Orthodox Metropolitan of Germany, His Eminence Augustinos, called for an intervention by German Foreign Minister Haiko Maas to resolve a simmering crisis in the small Adriatic country of Montenegro.
In a letter, His Eminence described the dire situation that has emerged for Orthodox Christians in that country, after the Montenegro government drafted and ratified, through Parliament last month, a new law that threatens the Church’s properties and relics with confiscation.
The letter was disclosed by the Metropolitanate of Montenegro and the Littoral, an eparchy of the Serbian Orthodox Church.
