Serbs who visited the cemetery in Dečani, near Medieval famous Serbian monastery in Kosovo and Metochia, to mark the All Souls’ Day on Saturday found that the Orthodox graves have been desecrated. This is according to official of the Decčni municipal assembly Snežana Paunović. “The previous visit to the Orthodox cemetery was organized on August 28, 2010. The cemetery was found overgrown with weeds, but no visible damage was done to the tombstones. But today, two months later, we found tombs violated and human remains scattered around the cemetery,” Paunović told Tanjug.

She noted that during the day, a problem occurred with regard to organizing the Kosovo police (KPS) escort, although the KPS was notified in advance about the visit to the cemetery.
