The Association of Kosovo Historians “Ali Hadri” Decan/Decane branch, has informed that they will peacefully block the road to the Decani Monastery on Friday, 28 April 2017, from 11:00 to 12:00 hours.

According to them, this blockade of the road represents objection to the decisions of Kosovo justice institutions, which are trying to recognize in a violent manner ownership of the properties and enterprises “Apliko” and “Iliria” to the Decani Monastery.

 Over three thousand people gathered today in Deçan/Dečani to protest against the decision of the Constitutional Court of Kosovo, which recognizes the property right to Deçan/Dečani Monastery property for over 24 hectares of land. The protest, organized by Deçan/Dečani mayor Rasim Selmanaj, and supported by all political forces of the municipality, ended peacefully. Selmanaj said at the protest that they will continue to protest in the future against this decision which according to him was illegal.
