Serbian Orthodox Church is under fire after Serb Bishops were taped blessing Serbian murderers before they executed Muslims in Bosnia.

Nish, 27 February 2005 - From a city where Albanians were exterminated 128 years ago, after Congress of Berlin granted a part of Kosovo vilayet to Serbia, Rasko-Prizren Bishop Artemije said that any imposed solution for the Kosovo status question could constitute an involuntary occupation of the territory.

“If something is imposed, this should be accepted and awaited with the feeling that Kosovo is once again occupied, and every democratic nation has the right to return its occupied territory and its integrity and freedom.” Bishop Artemije said.

He said that Serbia used its right to retake Kosovo after 500 years under the Ottoman Empire.

“I do not know how the discussions will end, but I know what we must do. We have to stay loyal to the stance that there is not one hand in Serbia that would sign an agreement for the independence of Kosovo and that no one can accept that.” he said.

Ironically, the Bishop was saying this from the city of Nish, where after a solution imposed by the Congress of Berlin in 1878, thousands of Albanian households were expulsed to Kosovo.

Serbian Bishop Artemije Radosavljevic has spent time in the United States recently as a part of the nationwide Serb campaign against the independence of Kosovo. During his trip in many occasions he has labeled Kosovo Albanians as mujahedeens, jihadists, terrorists in attempts to get sympathy from the christian world.
