Abbot of the Visoki Decani Monastery in Kosovo and Metohija Archimandrite Sava Janjic has informed media representatives that an unidentified person is threatening to destroy the monastery in the next several days, reports Kosovsky Dnevnik. According to Archimandrite Sava, the Kosovo police have reported that an unidentified man presenting himself as the Kosovo Liberation Army commander called a local television station and said that an attack on the monastery was being prepared within two days.
