PODGORICA, Montenegro: Police say they have arrested 65 people who protested plans by the self-styled Montenegrin Orthodox Church to build a monastery.
The protesters blocked roads near the town of Niksic to prevent the head of the Montenegrin Orthodox Church, Bishop Mihajlo, and his followers from reaching the building site.
The demonstrators pelted police and Montenegrin Orthodox Church supporters with eggs. The demonstrators are followers of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Montenegro.
The church dispute has led to many incidents in Montenegro. The Montenegrin Orthodox Church has not been recognized by other Orthodox Christian churches.
Police said after the incident Sunday that the protesters will be charged with violating public order.
