Conversely, he notes, they have also tried to drag the church into politics. "In 1990, Slobodan Milosevic allowed his office to issue a news release saying that the patriarch had welcomed the victory of the left in the election, and the church had to deny that," Antic recalls.
I obrnuto, napominje on, pokušavali su i da uvlače crkvu u politiku. „Slobodan Milošević je 1990. godine dozvolio svom kabinetu da objavi saopštenje za medije u kome se tvrdilo da je Patrijarh pozdravio pobedu levice na izborima i crkva je to morala da demantuje“, priseća se Antić.
