FALSE AND TENDENTIOUS INFORMING THE PUBLIC

Several European and domestic newspapers recently published the news stating that certain Mladen Dalmacija was arrested while he was supervising (clothed in “a priest’s habit”) the transfer of white slaves over the Yugoslav-Romanian border. They also claimed – without any grounds for it – that the mentioned men was the student of the Faculty of Theology of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Belgrade, allegedly about to graduate.

We would like to inform the public that Mladen Dalmacija is not, nor ever has been, the student of the Faculty of Theology of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Belgrade.

Consequently, we have to conclude that the news was disseminated only with the reason to inflict harmful consequences to this highest church scientific-educational institution and to the Serbian Orthodox Church as a whole.
