Serbian Orthodox Church Ascension of the Lord in the village of Devet Jugovici, northern of Pristina was robbed and 25 kilograms of wax candles were taken away, priest Aleksandar Naspalic confirmed to Gracanica-online portal.
“I just came back from the village, visited the church and spoke with remaining Serb inhabitants,” Father Aleksandar told the portal on Saturday. He added that remaining Serbs in the village cannot certainly tell when the church was robbed, and that Dragan Vukadinovic from the village noticed the burglary while visiting the church.
There are only two Serb families, with 9 members living in the village now. Prior to the 1999 conflict in a village that had around 700 households, more than 150 belonged to the Serbs.
Meanwhile, a road-sign indicating direction of Draganac Monastery in eastern Kosovo was broken. “The most recent act of vandalism in #Kosovo. Unknown persons damaged the road sign for the 14th century Draganac #Serbian #Orthodox #Monastery near Gnjilane #Balkans,” Abbot of Visoki Decani Monastery, Father Sava Janjic wrote on Twitter.
