From the church construction of Upha, Arkan had also attended the ceremony

The intervention in the university courtyard with the construction was as brutal as the footage shown in the Albanian Post, the day of the stone.

Orthodox religious songs are heard somewhere, a little farther away are fired bullets into the air, as criminals are seen in the crowd, as the leader of Serb paramilitaries Zeljko Razantovic, known as Arkan.

The leader of the notorious group “Tigers”, who was later charged with tens of crimes against humanity, including massacres, hundreds of murders and other crimes, is seen standing in line listening to a painful speech by a Serbian clergyman.

“Cursed be each member of Montenegro three times, or three thousand times that you don't trust Russia”, the clergyman says in part of the short video, until others applaud them.

No longer in the winter cold, but in spring temperatures, 19 years later, in the same space, in Kosovo Independent State, Serbian clergy have again maintained religious liturgy.

The ceremony was held Thursday, until objects that Serbs call <x0). Christ Savior” still remain an object without permission.

This liturgy also marks the first time after the war in Kosovo, which is held a religious liturgy. The last one was held in battle. In 1998.

For the first time today, we are celebrating glory in this magnificent but unfinished temple, which our ancestors left with the duty of serving here, praying to God and finishing it”, Bishop Teodosije said Thursday.

Unfinished and unbroken

This church had started to be built in 1992, at the time of Slobodan Milosevic's regime, but until the end of the war in Kosovo in 1999, it failed to be completed.

But, the Serbian Orthodox Church could end up on the list of collapses, as no one has applied for registers of construction without permission, in the deadline that was completed at the beginning of June 2015.

Built under the violent masses of the 1990s, I had “The Savior of Christ” is also at large with the Law to treat construction without permission.

Article 2 of Article 12 of this Law says that illegal construction inspections should determine that legalisation applications would be refused, if the competent organ was built on public property, respectively, in the area of public interest.

After the war, the Serbian Orthodox Church has attempted on several occasions to function, recently in 2016, but has not been allowed by the Pristina Community, after documentation for the object was requested.

In 2015, the University of Pristina had filed a lawsuit for the return of over four hectares already under a violent decision, with the Serbian Church.

For completely banal reasons, to refuse the invitation, at the UPI deployment hearing had not presented itself to the tribunal. That was the second instance.

The second-degree court, in 2017, has entitled the Orthodox Church to the claim of land it owns at Pristina University campus “hasan Pristina”.

Even the Second Stairs Court decided to refute the UP's indictment, with which this institution has no control of this earth's central campus.

Without permission and illegally built was the Serbian Orthodox Church in the village of Konjevich Polje, in the section controlled by Serbian ethnicity in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which collapsed five days ago.

In October 2019, the European Court of Human Rights ordered the destruction of the Church, which was illegally built on Fata Orlovic's property. She had been forced to leave her home during the 1992-1995 war.

Fata's husband, along with 20 other family members, had been killed by Serb forces in the 1995 Srebrenica massacre.

Fata Orlovic, now 78 years old, and 13 other family members had managed to escape the massacre, but then when they returned home, they found that only a few meters from their home had started building a church.

The court ruled that church construction was illegal in 1998 and ordered authorities to make sure that this object was to collapse.

Orlovic's daughter Hurija Karic told Radio Free Europe that the church's collapse was <x0fitor for my mother and the entire family, as well as victory for all of Bosnia and Herzegovina”.
