Vasilije Kačavenda
[5] In a few sources it is suggested that these two factors were linked and resulted in forced collaboration with the Secret Service as they held sensitive material regarding his personal circumstances.[5] In the early 1990s, Bishops Kačavenda and Amfilohije Radović deepened religious and ethnic divisions during the Yugoslav wars and alleged that a global conspiracy existed against the SOC.[13][14] Space was needed for the project during construction and Kačavenda had 10 deserted homes belonging to Muslims demolished, and the area was close to the location of the Atik Mosque.[16] In 2001, Vasilije strongly opposed the rebuilding of the Atik Mosque in Bijeljina, and he claimed in 2009 that the former Muslim structure was built atop a site that once contained an Orthodox church, yet evidence does not support that view.The SOC has never officially investigated the charges made about him that include an encounter with a stripper from Novi Sad and the case of a theology student Milić Blažanović, who refused Kačavenda's advances and later was allegedly killed (1999) after he began to discuss the matter with others.[18] In the late 2000s the Serbian newspaper Standard alleged that bishops Amfilohije Radović and Kačavenda left a dying Patriarch Pavle in his role to extend time and increase their possibility of ascending to that office themselves.
