On August 11, 2021, Serbian Patriarch Porfirije, sent a letter to the Prime Minister of Montenegro, Mr. Zdravko Krivokapić, which refers to the Fundamental Agreement between the Serbian Orthodox Church and the state of Montenegro. The letter states, among other things:
“As in any other business, in this one, we want to see, respect, and protect the interests of both sides in the same way, especially since in this particular case, both sides are actually made up of the same believing people.
As a measure of full responsibility, we sent your proposals to a certain expert commission which should determine what their qualitative contribution is in relation to the already determined, fully agreed and accepted by you text that we intended to sign on May 27 this year at the Patriarchal Palace in Belgrade.”
“After the end of the holiday season, the members of the expert committee will submit their analysis to the Holy Synod of Bishops, which will then inform you about the position of the Serbian Patriarchate on this important issue,” Patriarch Porfirije pointed out in a letter to Prime Minister Krivokapic.
