Dr. Dejan Maraš, president of the "Njegoš" Foundation from London and Podgorica, with associates.

In the office of the Metropolis in Cetinje, the guests were received by His Eminence the Metropolitan of Montenegro and the Littoral, Mr. Joannikius.

After the meeting with His Eminence Mr. With Metropolitan Joaniki, the delegation also visited the Theological Seminary of St. Peter the Wonderworker of Cetinje, the oldest high school in Montenegro.

Prof. Dr. Dejan Maraš and his associates were welcomed in the hall of the Cetinje Theological Seminary by Rector Archpriest Blagoje Rajković, Archpriest Arsenije Radović, MA, Archpriest Dušan Bigović and professors Apolon Mishčenko and Aleksandar Vujović. In a cordial conversation, the rector, Father Blagoje Rajković, introduced the guests to the history of the oldest secondary educational institution in Montenegro.

Prof. Dr. Dejan Maraš, with the blessing of the late Metropolitan of Montenegro and the Littoral and one of the restorers of the Cetinje Seminary, was also the first school doctor of the renovated Cetinje Seminary in 1992. The professors and students of the Cetinje Theological Seminary still remember the caring and fatherly attitude towards the students and everyone who was treated by Dr. Dejan Maraš during the first years of the renewed work of the Cetinje Theological Seminary, which were not at all easy. He taught many with his advice and wise teachings.

His wise advice and care, during all the years at the beginning of the renewed work of the Cetinje seminary, were a wonderful example for many in their further pastoral work of how to treat every person, especially those who need help. Those practically instructive lessons of the school doctor of the Cetinje Theological Seminary are remembered by its students all their lives, as one of the most beautiful memories from the town at the foot of Lovcen.

Rector of the Cetinje Theological Seminary, Fr. Blagoje Rajković thanked the distinguished guests for visiting the oldest high school in Montenegro by presenting them with modest gifts.

During the visit to the Cetinje Monastery and the Cetinje Seminary, the guests worshiped the relics of St. Peter the Wonderworker of Cetinje, the Holy Right Hand of St. John the Prophet, Forerunner and Baptist of the Lord, part of the Holy and Life-giving Cross of the Lord and other Cetinje shrines.
