U prostorijama gradske uprave u subotu, 2. srpnja 2016. zamjenik koji obnaša dužnost gradonačelnika Mišel Jakšić, zamjenica gradonačelnika Melita Samoborec te predsjednik Gradskog vijeća Zoran Gošek održali su prijem za biskupa kotorskog monsinjora Iliju Janjića.

Monsinjor Janjić tom je prilikom vodstvo grada upoznao s uskrsnim običajima kotarske biskupije. S obzirom da se Kotor nalazi na UNESCO-vu popisu zaštićene svjetske kulturne baštine monsinjor je predstavio također i specifičnosti Kotora i katedrale u Kotoru te ih pobliže upoznao s prirodnim ljepotama, kulturnim ljepotama i obilježjima Kotora te o tradicijama toga kraja.

U pratnji monsinjora bio je gradski vijećnik Radovan Knežević koji je ujedno i predsjednik Društva Crnogoraca Koprivničko-križevačke županije. U sklopu svog posjeta Koprivnici i županiji monsinjor Janjić održao je mise u okolnim župama te je sudjelovao na obilježavanju srpnice u Glogovcu te je posjetio i Podravske motive.
