Student State University of Novi Pazar (DUNP) Inas Hodžić stated that he and his colleagues, on the way to Novi Sad, where they went on foot, slept in the dormitory of the Studenica monastery, because their previously scheduled accommodation in the village of Ušće was cancelled.
Spending the night in that Hodžić monastery is like "healing for the soul".
Since their accommodation is in Raska canceled, they slept in the dormitory of the Studenica monastery, which is under the jurisdiction of Metropolitan Justin of Žica, who is out of favor with the regime in Belgrade.
If this were not the case, the question is whether the students would be admitted to the hostel in Studenica.
"We arrived a little later, everyone went to sleep in the monastery, there were porters on duty. The night was beautiful. When we got to Raška, we realized that the accommodation in Usce had been canceled and that we would not be able to go there. We talked to the locals and they said that there were lodgings. Everyone was skeptical that we would sleep there, but I am grateful monastery who approved it," Hodžić told N1.
He pointed out that the monastery and the nature around it are beautiful.
"This is a real healing for the soul, a healing that after the 33 kilometers traveled yesterday, we regained the energy to continue on towards Maglič without any problems," said Hodžić.
He stated that the students are scheduled to arrive in Maglič between 19 and 20 hours.
"Everything depends on the weather conditions. As you know, we are going along the Ibar highway, and we didn't have any in the previous days police escort. There are a handful of unforeseen circumstances," said Hodzic.
He also stated that the students have reserved accommodation for Saturday night near Maglič, but he does not want to reveal the location.
"We have a team." Informer and people who follow us, and who would like to cause an incident, so I will not reveal the location of the accommodation tonight. As for the accommodation in Usce, it was intended only for unforeseen circumstances, it is not a deeper story," said Hodžić.
"Punitive expedition" against Justin
Synod Serbian Orthodox Church he formed a commission consisting of Metropolitan Irinej Bulović, Bishop Metodij of Budimljana-Niššić and Archpriest-Stavrophore Velibor Džomić. The task of the commission is to examine the way in which Metropolitan Justin leads the Diocese of Žička, that is, to determine possible irregularities in its work.
Let us remind you that in July of this year, during the construction of the Saint Sava Church near Beran, Bishop Methodius honored the President of Serbia. Aleksandar Vučić With the Order of St. George the Victorious of the first order "for demonstrated love and charity towards the Church". On that occasion, he declared: "The Serbian people here will do everything to save Serbia and their mother." Russia never forget", expressing the hope that they will "unite even more closely in some community that we expect to be in the future".
However, sources close to the SPC suspect that this commission has the character of a kind of "punitive expedition" due to the metropolitan's support for students, and that he may be asked to withdraw himself.
Justin is one of the six archbishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church who - as a sort of response to the already famous text of Metropolitan David of Kruševac, in which the Serbian Ustasha and Lubjanka are mentioned - stood up for the students? Namely, Metropolitan Justin is the only one of the signatories whose diocese is located in Serbia.
Why should he then write another letter - which, in terms of tone and content, could serve as an example of public communication, of authentic concern for people and the community - in which he calls on the government to protect the people, reminding them "that power is not given for the sake of violence, but for the sake of service, that the abuse of force cannot bring peace - it can only deepen wounds and leave a scar that does not heal for a long time".
And so that there is no confusion and loading, at the end he added: "We remind you that the recent arrests and beatings are the wounds we are talking about. And we offer prayer support to all those who suffer innocents to survive and persevere on the path of truth."
By the way, it was with these addresses that Metropolitan Justin showed that the episcopal power was also given for the sake of service.
