Roman Catholic Bishop of Kosovo Dode Gjergji and the Albanian Archbishop of Bar (Montenegro) Zef Gashi with their clergy and a group of believers served a mass at the remains of the Orthodox Christian cathedral of St. Nicholas in the vicinity of the Novo Brdo medieval fortress.

The mass was attended by Ismet Hajrullahu the head of the Kosovo Institute for protection of cultural monuments. The news in Albanian was published by the Roman-Catholic Diocese at: http://www.drita.info/2019/08/02/u-shenua-dita-e-diaspores-ne-novoberd/

The Diocese of Raška and Prizren expressed its gravest concern and disagreement to Kosovo institutions already in June due to unauthorized works of the Kosovo Ministry of Culture (institute for Archeology) at this medieval Serbian Orthodox site which is situated within the Special Protected Zone of Novo Brdo where all works are prohibited without the consent of the Implementation Monitoring Committee and the Serbian Orthodox Church.
