Anniversary of Battle of Kosovo marked

Serbs are marking June 28 - the Orthodox Christian feast of Vidovdan (St. Vitus) - and historically a day of special significance for the nation and the state.

On Wednesday, liturgy was served in the Serbian monastery of Gracanica, near the eponymous Serb enclave in Kosovo, to mark the 628th anniversary of the Battle of Kosovo, fought and lost on this day in 1389 by the medieval Serbian Kingdom defending against the invading Ottoman Turks.
