Bishop Atanasije: The stone thrown at the Islamic Community is at the same time the stone thrown at the Holy Trinity Monastery

Bishop Atanasije of Milesevo: We strongly condemn the attack on the Islamic Community in Pljevlja

Since I myself as the competent Bishop am not able – due to the current administrative procedures at the border – to personally visit the Islamic Community and express our sympathy for the unfortunate events, the priests from Pljevlja will do that on behalf of all of us today. The act of stoning the Islamic Community in Pljevlja caused immeasurable sorrow in our hearts, as well as in every Orthodox Christian of the Diocese of Milesevo. The stone thrown at the Islamic Community is at the same time the stone thrown at the Holy Trinity Monastery.

We pray to God to bring peace to every distressed heart and to stand in the way of evil people who insolently strike at Islamic shrines. We call on the competent authorities to discover the perpetrators as soon as possible and to punish them according to the law.
