Наше племе неће спавати мртвијем сном, над нама није небо затворено

Presented below is the English version of the original text.

— Branko Veljković —

Our tribe shall not fall into a deathlike sleep – the sky above us is not closed

Brothers and sisters, esteemed citizens of Serbia,…

Тhere is no beautiful or gentle way for my Brothers and me to share all of this with you.

Through our Brothers in Christ – your Brother embraces you – we learn and confirm what we have feared.

Negotiations regarding the foundational agreement between the Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC) and Priština are in their final stage. This means that the leadership of the Serbian Orthodox Church – just as they did with Macedonia, now with Kosovo – with full awareness and with devilish intent, and with the full support of the vile political elite in Belgrade, will sign this foundational agreement! It is an agreement between the Serbian Orthodox Church and the so-called state of Kosovo!

The high clergy of the Serbian Orthodox Church are thus recognizing the statehood of Kosovo and carrying out the final plan to divide the Serbian Church and the Serbian state.

Jerusalem – the earthly one, not the Divine – has already spoken. And that message has reached us, for there, too, are Brothers who walk upright.

And God’s Jerusalem will have its say in the end.

So, the whole scheme of splitting the Serbian Orthodox Church on the territory of what was once the unified Montenegrin-Coastal Metropolis has once again been orchestrated by political Belgrade – with the direct complicity of the Church’s leadership – and according to that same familiar, oft-repeated scenario in which someone else is always blamed for the betrayals of political Belgrade. That is to say, the Montenegrin-Coastal Metropolis was split precisely because of this, and the humane statement of Metropolitan Joanikije of the Montenegrin-Coastal Metropolis – that students must not be called Ustaše[1] – served merely as a pretext for an organized attack on an honorable Metropolitan, and in truth, as the beginning of the final destruction of the Serbian Orthodox Church.

And here we are – 636 years after the Kosovo Vow – once again in the same place. Here we are, to measure ourselves. Now everyone – these and those – will see that the vow of the Metropolitan is stronger than that of the Patriarch, for the Montenegrin-Coastal Metropolis has a Metropolitan who is also the Exarch of the Throne of Peć[2] – the guardian of the Patriarchate of Peć, the canonical seat of the Serbian Orthodox Church.

And of him, the metropolitan, the people of the hills and the coast say – the patriarch may betray, and there have been such patriarchs, and there is one now – but the metropolitan will never betray!

The traitors within the Serbian Orthodox Church know this – which is why they sowed the seeds of division among the people, why they split the metropolitanate!

Thus it is now clear to everyone that these same traitors are splitting both the Church and the state.

And to you, traitors – have you still not realized that ours is always ahead of yours and that we expose you in due time, with good intention and in pure faith, that you will come to your senses and abandon the final betrayal!

And we, the people – have we lived to see this – never?

Here we are now, never, at the gates of disappearance.

Now, when we finally inscribe the leadership of the Serbian Orthodox Church among the ranks of hateful traitors, just as all of Serbia’s politicians are without exception, and now that only a single Metropolitan remains to defend the Serbian Church – a worthy Exarch – will we then act, reveal all, and bring all the traitors and all the betrayals of political Belgrade to justice, and not just those from yesterday? It will hurt, I know… but it must be so.

For across Montenegro and Serbia still grows that sharp-rooted plant that cannot be cut down while it stands – a plant that sprouted from the drops of blood from Obilić’s[3] severed head, from blood scattered by the wind across the Serbian land in memory of the vow of a hero who fulfilled his oath! This age shall surely bring forth battalions and units of new Obilićs, and from the entire Church, only one worthy metropolitan – the Exarch of the Throne of Peć, the guardian, the Serb,…

And we need no more – one is chosen, one is enough.

And God is one and so He is enough!

May God protect you, Metropolitan – and you, raise your voice and protect the Serbian Church from the degenerates!
