Press release of the Metropolitanate of Montenegro and the Littoral
20. October 2020 - 13:59
Today's X-ray of Metropolitan’s lungs showed a reduction of lung inflammation, allowing us to state that Metropolitan Amfilohije’s health condition has once again slightly improved compared to yesterday– the Clinical Center of Montenegro reported.
Metropolitan Amfilohije’s recovery may seem to be proceeding slowly, but to the satisfaction of the medical team it is happening on a regular basis, especially taking into account the specificity of the disease and the patient's age. Throughout the Metropolitan’s hospitalization all vital parameters, as well as oxygen saturation, have been absolutely good. From the beginning of treatment until today, the Metropolitan has not been put on invasive artificial respiration at any time, which means that there has been no need for respiratory support by means of invasive mechanical ventilation, but he is exclusively using non-invasive breathing support with high oxygen flow – NIV.

Three decades of archpastoral ministry of Bishop Dositej
Bishop Dositej (Despo Motika) was born on the feast of the Protection of the Most Holy Mother of God, on October 14, 1949, in the village of Zagoni, Olovo Municipality near Sarajevo. His pious parents, father Nedjo and mother Rosa, had a number of children. Grateful to God for this priceless gift, they, faithful to their ancestral heritage, raised their children from an early age in a strong spirit of commitment to the Orthodox Church. From an early age, the young Despot, the current bishop, responded to the call of the Lord and immediately after finishing primary school, entered the service of the Holy Church of Christ as a pupil of the first generation of the Monastic School in Ostrog Monastery, Montenegro. He completed this first degree of theological training as one of the best pupils in his generation (1967-1969).
