Shameful attacks on believers, facilities of Serbian Orthodox Church in Kosovo and Metohija
Belgrade,
26 October 2023
The announcement states that it is particularly worrying that this attack took place after the illegal expulsion of the abbot of the Devine Vode monastery, as well as the digging up of Serbian cemeteries and bones in Kosovska Mitrovica, with the assessment that everything points to a systematic attempt to wipe out and desecrate everything Serbian on the territory of Kosovo and Metohija.
A local priest noticed this morning that the church had been ransacked, and the robbery was recorded by cameras that show masked persons entering the church.
The Serbs of this Metohija village were very distressed by the news, especially because as returnees they are a frequent target of attacks by Albanian extremists, usurpers, robbers, in a region that has been almost completely ethnically cleansed of Serbs, and churches are places in which they gather and feel protection and peace.
