Abstract

The neglect of freedom of religion is relevant once again. Montenegro passed its Law on Freedom of Religion, which caused tectonic disturbances in the relations between the state and the church, prescribing the nationalization of church land and shrines, inherently challenging the legal continuity of certain religious communities and with a questionable generality, i.e. the ability to apply to all. The law provoked mass litanies of Orthodox faithful as non-violent resistance, which also received recognition by the global public. A particular facet is the aspiration of the President of Montenegro and the decades-long ruling political party to form a new, independent Orthodox Church. There is thus a unique case in 21st century Europe that a government in a secular state is officially charging itself with the reorganization of an existing church organization. This article deals with the Law on Freedom of Religion in Montenegro, its concordance with the Constitution of Montenegro and the ECHR, and also analyzes the relationship between Montenegrin religious policy and the principle of state neutrality, as an indispensable principle of modern regulation of the church-state relations, bearing in mind the legislation and political situation in Montenegro until August 30, 2020.
