Information Service of ORTHODOX GRAVEYARD IN DECANI DESECRATED ONCE AGAIN There is Hardly a Gravestone or Cross Left Intact Gracanica, November 28, 2002 Unknown attackers once again desecrated Serbian Orthodox graveyard near the Monastery of Visoki Decani. The monastics of Decani visited today the graveyard escorted by Italian KFOR, and found out that graves were desecrated and trees cut down. The Orthodox graveyard in Decani is 1km away from the very Monastery and only one hundred metres away from the Italian KFOR check point and headquarters. The graveyard has been devastated and there is hardly a gravestone left intact. With sorrow does the Diocese of Raska-Prizren state that the desecration of Orthodox graveyards in Kosovo and Metochia continues and that, it seems, no one is able to stop these vandal, senseless acts which threaten to erase the last trace of the existence of the Serbian people in this region. |
