The discipline, however, shows significant political values and, in this sense, suffers from instrumental logics that in part undermine the necessary neutrality that must be at the basis of the matter. In fact, in the folds of the norms there is the search for full emancipation, in a cultural and cultural sense, from Serbia. The discipline on the recognition of the «historical» ownership of places of worship, especially churches and convents, in fact, opens new points of friction between the two Orthodox Churches: the Serbian Orthodox Church and the reconstituted autocephalous Orthodox Church of Montenegro.

Looking ahead, the efforts made by the Venice Commission to reach legislation on freedom of worship in line with EU principles do not seem to have produced the expected results: this, in view of the European integration process and a complete institutional transition of Montenegro.
