Some media presented the statement of Bishop Joanikije of Budimlje-Niksic quite incorrectly and maliciously, so that the public could conclude based on their information that he had said that the Serbian Orthodox Church had made changes to the law, which is not true.
Bishop Joanikije clearly stated that the Church, in other circumstances, would demand that this discriminatory law be completely abolished. However, the Orthodox Church requested the previous government as well for only those changes that would make it impossible to discriminate it, and consequently, it did not request anything else from these authorities either.
