Serbian Orthodox Church clergy and believers stand in front of police near the parliament, ahead of the vote on a controversial law on religious freedom in Podgorica on December 26, 2019. - More than a dozen Montenegrin opposition MPs were detained in parliament on December 27, 2019, after they violently protested a controversial law on religious freedom, which was passed after the group was taken away. The law has raised tensions in recent weeks between the government and a pro-Serb opposition which is close to the Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC), Montenegro's main religious body. Under the legislation, religious communities need to prove ownership of property from before 1918, when Montenegro lost its independence, in order to keep it. (Photo by Savo PRELEVIC / AFP)
