Abbot of Visoki Decani Monastery, Father Sava Janjic assessed that “proponents of Serbian territory division have not given up on their plan,” KIM Radio reports.

Commenting on Saturday’s event and tense situation around Gazivode lake, Abbot Janjic wrote on social networks that “while thousands of Kosovo Albanians are protesting in Pristina against the land-swap idea, Thaci with his heavily armed police intrudes Gazivode, handcuffs Serbs, creating incident to divert attention. KFOR must urgently calm the situation and prevent escalation of violence.”

Abbot Janjic added that this provocation only confirms that “alleged peacemakers just wait for an opportunity to launch with incidents and provocations, their vision of division of Kosovo through violence,” KIM radio reported.
