Serbian Minister of Labour, Employment, and Social Issues, Aleksandar Vulin, addressed the journalists after the liturgy in the monastery of the Holy Archangels in Prizren, marking the monastery celebration Holy Archangel Gabriel. He said that March 17 is not forgotten and that those who burned the Virgin Ljeviška and dozens of Serbian churches now want to present themselves as the guardians of the heritage of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Kosovo.

"How we could believe that they could be guardians of the Serbian heritage when they burned Serbian churches and beheaded father Hariton. How we could believe when we still remember 17th of March. UNESCO should not and cannot accept that the Visoki Decani Monastery was built by anyone other than Serbian people and the Serbian Orthodox Church," said Vulin to the gathered people.
