Abbot Sava Janjic reacted to the statement made by Rexhepi that graffiti were made by minors who were arrested, stating that it is "irresponsible and fundamentally wrong."

"Three Kosovar youths were only kept in police custody, but not in connection with graffiti, but because they shouted the KLA slogans in front of the monastery. Anyway, who again wrote slogans and not far from the KFOR checkpoint? Such statements offend common sense and serve to conceal the real problems on the ground," said the abbot of the monastery of Visoki Decani.

Bishop of Raska-Prizren Teodosije warned that religious and nationalist extremism presents a serious threat not only to the Serbian people and the Church, but also for all citizens of Kosovo and Metohija: “We expect the international community and Kosovo's institutions will protect peace and Christian sanctities from provocation and potential terrorist attacks.”

Graffiti reading the threat “the caliphate is coming” and signatures KLA, Albanian National Army and the Islamic state (ISIS) appeared on Sunday on the property of the monastery of Visoki Dečani. The Serbs who are living there and brotherhood of the monastery are upset, because lately more than 200 young Albanians from Kosovo joined the jihad in Iraq and Syria, and there are fears that the jihadists could organize terrorist attacks even in Kosovo.
