REGARDING ATTACK ON RADIO STATION SVETIGORA

In the night between October 3rd and 4th 2004 at 1:00 AM (after midnight) group of Cetinje youngsters brutally attacked families of Radosav - Rajo Vojinovic, editor of Svetigora radio and deacon Jovan Plamenac director and chief editor of this media house.

From side of Njegos's street the ferry was placed a week ago because construction work on house roof beside Svetigora radio and the apartments of Radosav - Rajo Vojinovic and deacon Jovan Plamenac were the following institutions have their headquarters the information publishing institutions Svetigora, and newspaper Svetigora and Orthodox bookstore Svetigora of Metropolitanate of Montenegro and Littoral. The group of youngster's claims on ferry to window of Radosav - Rajo Vojinovic's apartment. One of them who responded on name "Nino" (for who was found out latter that he is son of late Bobo Bogdanovic) tried to go thru window screaming out and swearing on account of Church and Serbs. Vojinovic luckily did not go to sleep and he run in room when he heard noise, where the youngster tried to enter. When Vojinovic asked him "Where are you going?" he continued to swear and spit Vojinovic. The other youngster who were on ferry screamed also.

In that situation of nightmare, Vojinovic took a pistol and turned on way of window. Youngster screamed and spit. That lasted for a wile. When the youngster began to claim down to apartment Vojinovic comely (because the window was very small) he fired pistol on air.

The others in panic tried to convince the youngster to enter in Vojinovic's apartment, the youngster swears. In the same time group of youngsters tried to open back door of the building screaming out. This episode was like in horror movie.

Frightened Vojinovic's girls hysterically cried. The local police phone showed a busy signal. Vojinovic, defending his family, held his pistol in front of window, and the other guys on ferry push the one who tried to enter in apartment. It's hard to say how long that lasted.

When finally the police phone line 92 were free the drama that threatened to have a fatal result was reported to police. Police arrived very soon and one of them in uniform of traffic policeman gets fair out and let down the youngsters who continued swearing. Than arrived the other policeman who put their patrol from the both sides of Svetigora building. Vojinovic and deacon Plamenac were asked to go in the police station. Vojinovic was kept for a while.

The Orthodox Church in Cetinje was on strike from godless people for a long time. During the time of Metropolitan Danilo of blessed memory there were organized demonstrations against him, the only organized demonstrations in the former socialist Yugoslavia, because Metropolitan condemned and rejected the decision for destroying the church on Mount Lovcen. When the Metropolitan Amfilohije was introned in the holy see of Saint Peter of Cetinje on 1991 there was attempt to take Cetinje Monastery by weapons from godless groups, which the faithful people disallowed. From that time until today the Orthodox Church in Montenegro is being crucified like nowhere in the world. Continuous attacks on students of the Saint Peter of Cetinje Seminary came to that point that one student barely survived after he was stabbed by knife close to hart.

Burning of hey and destroying the tiers, which belongs to Church, are samples of crimes, which do not interest today's media in Montenegro.

Dozen of reports to police and government departments harassing of seminary students priests and braking in and trying to take in possession of Orthodox Metropolitanate of Montenegro and Littoral stay only as appeal without any answer whatsoever by legal justice of Republic of Montenegro.

The latest attack on life on people from the Church and their families without scruple is the peek of attack on Orthodox Church in Montenegro. This attack shows that actual Montenegrin government who is identifying itself with the state after large tedious without scruple media preparation campaign, appears to let the Church to be permanently terrorized allowing continuation of that terror and torture which lasted for fifty years and taking away of all human rights under communist titoistic rule. And even worse than that.
