Prizren - A burned body has been found in the basement of the burned Sts. Cyril and Methodius Seminary in Prizren which was subsequently established to be that of a 30 year-old disabled Serb woman. Beta's correspondent reported that no one knew that the woman was in the basement of the seminary. Her body has been transferred to the city morgue. Radio KIM, which broadcasts a Serbian language program from Caglavica, reported that the body of 55 year-old Dragan Nedeljkovic was also found in the seminary. Previously Pristina TV KohaVision reported that members of the Kosovo Police Service pulled the burned body of a Serb man from Sts. Cyril and Methodius Seminary in Prizren.
In the past four days of violence in Kosovo, all Orthodox churches and holy shrines have been destroyed, among them the Orthodox cathedral of the Mother of God of Ljevis and Holy Archangels Monastery, both dating back to the 14th century. The church of the Mother of God of Ljevis was under the protection of UNESCO.
