Sava Janjic

As Radio Television Gracanica reports, the case was reported to the police and the investigation is ongoing.
In the meantime, a photo of the flag appeared on social networks, where a masked person allegedly trampled on the stolen flag, holding the Albanian flag in his hands. The abbot of the monastery Visoki Decani, Sava Janjic also reacted to the mentioned picture.

The abbot of the monastery of Visoki Decani, Sava Janjic, posted photos of the church of St. John the Baptist in Samodreza village, showing the shrines turned into a garbage dump.

A medieval Serbian Orthodox monastery in Kosovo has been included on the list of Europe's most endangered sites, the Europa Nostra organisation announced on Thursday, annoying local politicians who called the decision politically motivated.

Stefanovic also warned Veseli not to take any action against the Serbian president.

Veseli, who is the president of Kosovo's parliament, previously threatened that permission for Vucic's forthcoming visit Kosovo and Metohija could be denied, and that Vucic might receive the same treatment there as Marko Djuric.

Some Kosovo Serb representatives say that employees of institutions funded by Serbia in Kosovo are being pressured to attend a rally in support of President Aleksandar Vucic, and fear reprisals if they do not show up.

As Tanjug learns from the well-informed church circles, the special meeting is a possibility even though the Church's stance "on the issue remains clear and unchanged".

The Church's position, announced after the May meeting, is that Serbia must not lose Kosovo.

Kosovo is likely to be a hot issue at the upcoming Synod of the Serbian Orthodox Church, which has taken a lead position in attacking talk of Kosovo's partition, or of recognising its independence, Church experts say.

The abbot of the Decani monastery, Sava Janjic, has been facing daily criticism from Serbian officials and tabloids close to the government for his opposition to Belgrade's idea of partitioning Kosovo as part of a deal with Pristina.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, a proponent of partition, accused Janjic on Tuesday of supporting Kosovo's independence.

This was the Serbian president's reaction to German Chancellor Angela Merkel saying a day earlier she was "against changing borders in the Balkans."

"She has already delineated us - only by separating Kosovo from Serbia," Vucic said, referring to his country's southern province, and the concept of "delineation" with the Albanians that he has been championing recently.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Saturday that measures would be taken to strengthen the Serbian army and intelligence services after talks with Patriarch Irinej about what Vucic called the "survival of the Serbian people" in Kosovo.
