Association of Djakovica citizens: We would like to visit our churches (IRS)
The Association of Djakovica citizens has asked the US Ambassador in Pristina Tracy Jacobson, representatives of KFOR, UNMIK and EULEX, and non-governmental organizations to enable them to visit Serbian churches in this town in southwestern Kosovo. A bus carrying 40 displaced Serbs from that town was stoned in front of the Church of the Assumption of the Holy Virgin in Djakovica on Christmas Eve. We wish to visit several Orthodox churches in Djakovica that have been destroyed, our property which has been usurped and destroyed, cemeteries where our loved ones were buried, and which are also desecrated and destroyed, as well as the Monastery of the Dormition of the Virgin, which was demolished in 2004, the Association pointed out.
