Zenit reports:

Quote:

Two Orthodox monks from Kosovo appealed to Rome to save monasteries of their Church severely damaged by Albanian radicals.
...
The religious thanked the Italian contingent that is present in Kosovo with 2,000 military men, which has guaranteed the security of the Orthodox Patriarchate of Pec, as well as of the monasteries of Decani and Grazanica, treasures of Byzantine art.

Predrag-

It is my understanding that there are many ethnic Albanians in Kosovo. Perhaps that was what they were talking about.

Dear Peter:

You are right.

And those ethnic Albanians in Kosovo are Muslims, who went on their version of a local"jihad" last March 2004 aimed at Orthodox Christians and their Churches and monasteries.

Because of their "mistrust" of the French contingent, the Orthodox in Kosovo (mainly Serbians) turned to the Italian contingent, through the intercession of Rome, for military protection from roving Muslims.

I hope the two churches will help in Kosovo and Bosnia, because the destruction of monasteries and churches in Kosovo is the first step to islamize completely Kosovo and later the croatian part in Bosnia with his churches and monasteries have had the same luck. we have to be together, for the welfareness of Europe. Greetings

You have in deed spoken the truth concerning these monasteries.

The older wiser people ( I am only old) people tell us that " Monasteries of men and women are the conscience of the Church".

I know that our church helps financially and is urging those greater power to to what is right.

For this i pray.
