"Now some other young people have appeared, completely different, who are inspired by the same thing. Maybe they are inspired by someone's religious education, maybe someone's anti-religious education, maybe someone's philosophy... Maybe they are a new world that adapts much better to dramatic technological development.

Religious analyst Draško Đenović explains for "Vreme" that with huge expenditures and donations, the state is actually paying back the debt to the church for property that was confiscated a long time ago.
Why should the SPC take sides in relation to a recently opened controversial and inappropriately dramatized phenomenon, which has yet to be competently discussed at the professional and political level, says Tanasković
