This article should be moved to Metropolitanate of Montenegro and the Littoral or something similar. The current name is a bad and clumsy translation. --estavisti 00:38, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

I have copy-edited the whole of this article for syntax, style, punctuation, spelling, grammar and typos, but I don't know enough about the subject to do anything with the actual meaning. I have the strong impression that it is highly partisan and that someone who can manage to be NPOV in Serbian affairs, if any such person exists, needs to edit it fairly radically.

Removed the tag, since you're pretty vague. I'll go through the article in the coming days and see what's what.--Methodius 00:45, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

  • It's the modern section that is clearly POV. I infer that there has been a split in the organisation since the fall of communism, and the author is claiming that the government supports what from his or her point of view is the wrong side. Take for instance this paragraph:
These figures became leaders of the so-called "Montenegrin Orthodox Church". Meanwhile, because their "clergy" were without canonical legitimacy in the world of Orthodox Christianity, our disguised communists returned to their "old ways" and illegal methods:
That is clearly not neutral, so I've put the POV tag back in but only for that section. Whether the earlier historical material is correct, I have no idea. I'd have thought it ought to cite more sources, but maybe that's just me. Woblosch 09:11, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
