„Representatives of the Srpska Lista in Kosovo and Metohija hurried to throw a stone at our Bishop Teodosije who carries a cross for his people but none of them lifted a finger to help Decani Monastery in the problem with the illegal road construction. International representatives care more about the problems we are facing than them. Whom do they actually represent?“ the Abbot of Visoki Decani Monastery Sava Janjic posted during the weekend via social network.

“I am sad to see the slanderous attacks on Father Sava,” USA Ambassador in Pristina, Greg Delawie wrote on his Twitter profile, KoSSev portal reported.

This message came after headlines appeared in the Kosovo media linking Abbot of Visoki Decani Monastery Sava Janjic with Zeljko Raznatovic Arkan in Pristina, with video recording showing Arkan, but not with Father Sava Janjic.

Political Advisor to the Minister of Infrastructure Fatos Mani told Pristina based daily Gazeta Express that the works on the route to Plav continue with avoiding the protected area around the monastery. According to him, the opposition of the monastery to the construction of the road has a political character, writes today portal Kossev.

Ivica Dacic has told Prva TV why he believes partitioning the territory of Kosovo and Metohija is the solution to the dispute between Belgrade and Pristina.

"I have been talking about a partition for about 10, 15 years, and I think it's the only possible and fast solution. However, this is not the only solution, all possible options should be considered," the first deputy PM and foreign minister said.

Abbot of Visoki Decani Monastery, Father Sava Janjic thanked on Twitter USA Ambassador in Pristina Greg Delawie for his stance “that Decani road issue was closed in 2014,” and added the rule of law is of highest importance for all in Kosovo, KIM Radio reported.

The USA Ambassador wrote on Twitter “decision from 2014 was confirmed two weeks ago and that Kosovo law says road construction in front of the Decane Monastery is illegal.” Ambassador Delawie also called for respecting the law.

"Regarding the news published by KTV on Friday “Decani Monastery prevents construction of the Plav-Decani Road,“ we are compelled to inform the public about the facts related to the road and express sincere regret for comments expressed in public by Dečani mayor Bashkim Ramosaj.
