BELGRADE, Serbia — The Serbian Orthodox Church has appointed a hardliner as the new bishop in Kosovo after a predecessor was replaced over an alleged financial fraud.
The church says that the new spiritual leader of Serbs in Kosovo will be Bishop Amfilohije Radovic, who is notorious for his nationalist and conservative beliefs.
The appointment late Thursday signals that the Serbian church remains firm in its rejection of Kosovo’s Western-backed declaration of independence in 2008.
The Serbian church considers Kosovo the cradle of its foundation. Hundreds of Serbian monasteries, some dating to the medieval era, are located there.
The previous Kosovo bishop, Artemije, was replaced in February over allegations that he embezzled church and state funds.
