Serbian Orthodox Church protesting over attack against believers in Pec
4/10/2010
The Eparchy of Ras and Prizren and Kosovo and Metohija has today issued a protest to international officials in Kosovo because on Sunday, October 3, the Kosovo Albanians stoned buses and cars with believers returning from the ceremony of enthronement of Serbian Patriarch Irinej in the Pec Patriarchate. The communiqué expressed discontent over the fact that attacks against Serbs that were not provoked has not been condemned by a single international representative in Kosovo.
Some ten buses and cars were stoned and at least 1 person needed medical care in a hospital. Representative of the self-proclaimed Kosovo Government Memlji Krasnici even stated that the address of His Holiness Patriarch Irinej, who called for peaceful life of all in Kosovo, is ‘a mixture of religion and politics’ and ‘absurd and without true effect’, reads the communiqué of the Eparchy. It was assessed that thus Krasnici formally justified violence and blasphemous posters offending Patriarch Irinej that have been posted in the streets of Pec.
Snaps:
It is sad that many Christians and Muslims in Kosovo are not living harmoniously with neighborly-loving lives, as God wants them to live. I hope that the senseless hostilities between the two groups soon will become a thing of the past.
