I don't agree with this sentiment. Whether or not Kosovo is independent really doesn't matter. What matters is that there is peace and harmony, and that the Gospel can be declared there. There is an Albanian Orthodox Church, after all, and it could be quite possible given effort and prayer that the churches which used to have liturgies in Serbian will one day have them in Albanian. Is one really more important? Or does one group have the only "right" to the area? Come on, Serbs and Albanians have lived in the area for centuries. Instead of talking gloomily, we can try to work for something good--that Muslim Albanians will return to their roots in the Orthodox Church.

This would be a good joke, but for us Serbs it is not time to laugh.

That statement about piece and harmony and a Gospel, that looks like Jehovah’s Witness statement.

Furthermore, you don't have a clue what is going on in Kosovo and Metohia, how hard is for Serbs to survive every single day. Not to talk about nonsense that Serbs should shut down Serbian Orthodox Churches, then learn Albanian language and start going to Albanian Orthodox Church.
This is stunning.
