(ANSA) - ROME, DECEMBER 27 - The Parliament of Montenegro has approved a controversial law on religious freedom as the end of a convulsive session that led to the arrest of 18 MPs of the pro-Serbian opposition, firmly against the initiative. Local media report it. In recent days, the draft law had been severely contested by the leaders of the Serbian Orthodox Church, according to which the new legislation could strip the churches and monasteries of their properties.
