His Grace Bishop Irinej of Backa together with His Grace Bishop Isihije of Mohacs and the clergy as well as monastics of the Diocese of Backa attended at the Republic Square in Novi Sad, on December 30, 2019, a protest organized against the adoption of the discriminatory "Law on Freedom of Religion (!) and the Legal Status of Religious Communities" in Montenegro, thus providing full support for the defense of the rights of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Montenegro.

Through a peaceful walk from Republic Square to City Hall, the citizens of Novi Sad led by their Bishop, expressed a determined opposition to the forceful seizure of churches and monasteries and prayed to the Lord to grant reason to representatives of the authorities in Montenegro to end the violence and usurpation of the assets of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Montenegro.
