Abstract
Te new European state Montenegro has been a scene or an
internal ecclesial strie between the Serbian Orthodox Church and the
newly ormed Montenegrin Orthodox Church since the early nineties.
Tis article ocuses on the ecclesiological models used in the discus-
sion between the two churches. On one side the Montenegrin church
understands itsel rom the classical juridical “eusebian” church model.
Tis model’s main ocus is the lawul canonic status o independent
churches called autocephaly, which the Montenegrin church claims to
possess. On the other side the Serbian Orthodox Church operates with
a Neo-patristic ecclesiological model that claims the Eucharist as the
true orm or an orthodox church. A orm that the Serbian church de-
nies that its Montenegrin counterpart has. Te two models are ocused
on two different key-aspects o the orthodox ecclesiological complex,
which are the canon laws and the genuine patristic tradition.
