Serbian Government Office for Kosovo Director, Marko Djuric, commenting on the decision of the Court of Appeals in Pristina to uphold the right of the Serbian Orthodox Church (SOC) over the land, where the Christ the Savior Temple is located, said it is good that the SOC at least got a paper confirming the ownership over the property, but that SOC should be enabled access to its holy shrines in Kosovo.

Djuric also assessed the court decision as “justice victory,” Serbian media reported.
