“Those who think that they can divide us and separate our people and bring us into a situation to leave this ancient area where our soul is elevated, where we keep the land deeds given to us by the holy Nemanjićs, we say to them that they are badly mistaken” Bishop Teodosije said during the “Moleban” service in Gracanica Monastery.

“Many powerful men before their time did not succeed in doing so,” Bishop Teodosije said in front of  believers who attended the “Moleban for Kosovo and Metohija” in the Gračanica Monastery.

RTV Kim reports that many, among those who were gathered in Gračanica, are disturbed by the increasing frequency of announcements on the division of Kosovo, made by the representatives of the authorities on both sides. Particularly, they say, they’re disturbed because of the relation of the authorities in Belgrade and Serbian Lists towards the representatives of Serbian Orthodox Church.

RTV Kim pointed out that the representatives of the local authorities did not attend the “Moleban” in Gračanica.

After the service, Bishop Teodosije addressed the believers and general public and urged Kosovo Serbs not to sell their properties and estates. He urged them to be wise and to continue to live in their own property, “no matter how things unfold, no matter how the powerful people of this world decide”.

“It’s sad when we see that the Serbs are selling their houses and estates, the inheritance that was left to them by their ancestors who shed their blood for it... Let us show them that we have the strength to live in peace with everyone around us and that we will not accept to be moved around by anyone, as if we are strangers in our own home” concluded Bishop Teodosije, calling once again for the unity of Serbs, love for each man, no matter where he was born, what language he speaks, and how he prays to God.
