I consulted with the Vladika at once as to what was best to be done.

It was written in great haste, and signed by the Vladika.

The Vladika and I, who of all (save the two immediately concerned) alone knew, looked at each other apprehensively.

From what the Vladika said at that meeting they have some intention of an attack on the Blue Mountains.

Drobot had a severe toothache when Vladika visited them.

I shall follow with the Vladika.

The Vladika stood in front of the Members of the National Council.

Grateful, the young vladika replied: "Only God is bigger than the Russian czar!"

I knew from the Vladika's look that he shared my own satisfaction, even as he had shared my anxiety.

The highest office-holder of the polity was the Metropolitan (vladika, also rendered "prince-bishop").

When Vladika Petar I returned from Russia, he began a war of liberation.

According to church canon, a vladika could not be any younger than thirty, a prerequisite that the twenty-year-old Njegoš clearly failed to meet.

For this was the Vladika Milosh Plamenac himself.

Vladika Danilo has a problem: some Montenegrin Serbs have converted to Islam.

During the Paschal season of 1996, Vladika Metropolitan Vitaly visited our parish.

Petar Petrović Njegoš perhaps the most influential vladika, reigned in the first half of the 19th century.

He, as your representative during your absence, consented himself, and brought the matter to the notice of the Vladika and the Archimandrites.

As you have heard from Vladika and the fathers gathered here, the life of the Orthodox Christian in these last times is indeed a very difficult one.

By 1831, Milutinović (now Njegoš's personal secretary) was also forced into exile after entering into a disagreement with the young vladika.

Consequently, Vienna increased its surveillance of the vladika and intercepted all his correspondence, amid widespread turmoil during the revolutions of 1848.

This was handed to him by the Vladika, to whom it was brought from the National Treasury by a procession of the high officers.

The day after Petar's death, all of Montenegro's chieftains met in Cetinje to confirm the new vladika.

Vladika Vavil was elected in 1516 as Montenegrin prince-bishop by the Montenegrin people.

Apparently, Radonjić's opinion did not sway the chieftains and they composed a declaration proclaiming Njegoš the next vladika.

Straightway they went to the Vladika, and signalled to me by the fire-signal at the monastery at Astrag, where I then was.
