Abbot Sava Janjic reacted to the statement made by Rexhepi that graffiti were made by minors who were arrested, stating that it is "irresponsible and fundamentally wrong." "Three Kosovar youths were only kept in police custody, but not in connection with graffiti, but because they shouted the KLA slogans in front of the monastery. Anyway, who again wrote slogans and not far from the KFOR checkpoint?

Bishop of Raska-Prizren Teodosije warned that religious and nationalist extremism presents a serious threat not only to the Serbian people and the Church, but also for all citizens of Kosovo and Metohija: “We expect the international community and Kosovo's institutions will protect peace and Christian sanctities from provocation and potential terrorist attacks.” Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija Marko Djuric condemned the graffiti on the premises of the monastery Visoki Decani and asked KFOR to reinforce military protection, and identify and bring to justice responsible people.

Graffiti reading the threat “the caliphate is coming” and signatures KLA, Albanian National Army and the Islamic state (ISIS) appeared on Sunday on the property of the monastery of Visoki Dečani.
