Yesterday in the afternoon, media broadcast unbelievable news that the Abbess of the Gracanica Monastery, Mother Ephrosinia, was arrested on August 7 in the evening and detained in the police station till midnight. Mother Ephrosinia was questioned by a German police inspector under suspicion that cannabis is being grown and allegedly consumed on monastery grounds (sic).

Honourable nun who dedicated her entire life to feats, praying, helping both friends and enemies, was forced after the police harassment and humiliation to deny officially that absurd accusation, aiming to preserve unsullied her own reputation, the reputation of the sisterhood she takes care of, as well as the reputation of the Serbian Church and its faithful.

Why did the UNMIK police carry out this “great action”, when just a day later, on August 8, their official - the chief of Gracanica UNMIK police station Charles Weber - stated that the cannabis allegedly detected in the Gracanica Monastery garden was just wild growing hemp? (Naturally, this news did not stir the public as much as the previous one). Who profited most out of this situation?

It seems that UNMIK policemen know the answer to these questions very well!

UNMIK policemen know that the terrorist KLA has been financed by dirty money of Kosovo Albanians’ drug mafia, the mafia which trades in drugs and kills children throughout Europe. European public must also hear the words of Gordon Baros, Deputy Director of the Harriman Institute at Columbia University in the city of New York: “Kosovo is an entity in which organised criminal influences everything. It is hard to make distinction between a criminal and a politician there, since everything is mingled.

This arresting of Abbess Ephrosinia and this statement of the American expert vividly demonstrate the Orwellian reality in Kosovo and Metochia. Obviously, black is white, and white is black.
