Director of the Serbian Government Office for Kosovo Marko Djuric said that the incident at Visoki Decani monastery is a warning and reminder that Kosovo institutions must tackle the causes of religious extremism. "This incident reveals the need for Kosovo institutions and politicians in Pristina to address the social causes of religious extremism which threaten the future of all people living in Kosovo, instead of dealing with the non-existent threat in the form of the Association / Community of Serb Municipalities," said Djuric.

In front of the main entrance of Visoki Decani monastery, Kosovo police and KFOR stopped a car containing four Albanians armed with Kalashnikovs and pistols and carrying Islamist literature. They were disarmed and arrested, after which the KFOR commander made his way into Visoki Decani monastery.
