Metropolitan Mihailo (born Miraš Dedeić, Montenegrin/Serbian Cyrillic: Мираш Дедеић) is the current head of the uncanonical Montenegrin Orthodox Church. He claims the title of Archbishop of Cetinje and the Montenegrin Metropolinate, in the hands of Amfilohije Radović. He is in full communion with the other non-canonical churches like the Ukrainian and Italian Orthodox Churches.
Metropolitan Mihailo was born in Ramovo Ždrijelo near Zavidovići, Kingdom of Yugoslavia (modern Bosnia) on 8 November 1938. He was a priest of the Orthodox Church of Constantinople (in Rome, Italy) until he was defrocked in 1997.[1] He became the Metropolitan of the Montenegrin Orthodox Church on 6 January 1997.
Besides Montenegrin/Serbian, Metropolitan Mihailo is fluent in Italian, Russian and Greek, and resides at Cetinje.
