Interesting to see the new Pope meeting with Montenegro's president so early on. The Apostolic Palace sounds like a pretty formal spot for it. Wonder what they talked about—any chance it touched on the Orthodox communities there?

The Apostolic Palace does feel like a formal choice for an early meeting. I wonder the same about the Orthodox side—Montenegro has that mix of Serbian and Montenegrin churches, and tensions pop up there from time to time. Did the article mention anything about religious freedom in the talks?
