(5 years ago)The Diocese of Raska and Prizren in its official account at “Twitter” has distributed a news of Serbia's state media, RTS, which reportedly said that a group of believers from Serbia who had ordered Kosovo to visit monasteries, have returned. According to this diocese, Kosovo police have not approved entry [...]
According to this diocese, Kosovo police have not approved their entry into Kosovo.
The response has also been made by Sava Janjiq, who says that the return of the bus with Orthodox Serb pilgrims is a serious violation of religious freedoms and freedom of movement.
On the other hand, the decision not to allow entry into Kosovo is also a violation of the Brussels Agreement.
“A bus of Serbian Orthodox pilgrims, who had planned to visit the holy sites in Kosovo, has been turned back by border police without a valid reason. A serious violation of religious rights and freedoms and freedom of movement, which opposes the Brussels Agreement”, says the Decani Monastery response.
All this is happening just two days after the liturgy held in the church within the UPI campus, events that sparked much debate and protest.
