Patriarch Irinej of the Serbian Orthodox Church on Tuesday urged all former residents of Kosovo-Metohija to return to their homes in the province.

“We know that they live in difficult circumstances – the Lord will give them the strength to endure – I call on all former residents of Kosovo-Metohija to return to their homes, their temples and cemeteries to protect and preserve what they had received from their ancestors,” Patriarch Irinej said.

After a liturgy marking the day of the ktetor of the Visoki Decani monastery, the patriarch said that “any message is weak compared to the message of this sacred site and (its ktetor) the Holy King Stefan Decanski.”
