Several thousand people have held protests in Montenegro against a religious property bill that is opposed by the Serbian Orthodox Church and Russia.

Serbian Orthodox Church clergy in Montenegro march and hold a banner reading: ''Judgment and Justice are in God's name'' as they protest the planned adoption of a religious law that they say will pave the way to strip the church of its property, in Podgorica, Montenegro, Tuesday, Dec. 24, 2019.

The Montenegrin parliament approved the legislation on Friday amid protests by pro-Serb opposition lawmakers who tried to prevent the vote, triggering turmoil in the assembly. Montenegro split again from Serbia in 2006 but some of its 620,000 citizens declare themselves to be Serbs and want closer ties with Belgrade. Montenegro defied another historic Slavic and Orthodox Christian ally,Russia's Foreign Ministry on Tuesday joined the Serb church's criticism of the Montenegrin law, expressing “serious concern" and saying it is aimed at pushing the Serbian church out of Montenegro, according to the Russian embassy in Podgorica.
