The Serbian Orthodox Church in Montenegro, which owned 66 mainly medieval monasteries, dozens of churches and other real estate there, insisted the state wants to impound its assets, while Pro-Western Montenegro's president Milo Đukanović, has accused the Serbian church of promoting pro-Serb policies that are aimed at "undermining Montenegrin statehood".
