Koha ditore states that the cradle of Serbian churches and monasteries for two or three generations of the Nemanjić government “was located in Serbian territories, not within Kosovo”, and that “the territory of present-day Kosovo was not the epicenter of church building Serbian women in the time of Nemanjić “.
The oldest Serbian churches were built mainly in the narrow territory of Raska, such as Studenica (near Novi Pazar), built by Stefan Nemanja, Mileseva Monastery (near the Bosnian border), Sopocani (Novi Pazar) and Zica Monastery , later renovated nearby. Kraljeva, where the Serbian autocephaly headquarters was, was built by Stefan Prvovenčani “, it is written Love.
The document adds that the main monuments of Christian culture in Kosovo, which today are considered Serbian Orthodox churches and monasteries, such as the Decani, Gracanica, the Church of Saints Michael and Gabriel and the Church of Our Lady of Ljeviska in Prizren , the Patriarchate of Pec, the Church of St. Stephen in Mitrovica – “ancient both for the indigenous Arbras and for the Serbs who occupied Kosovo.”
Love considers that to this day no serious scholar denies the fact that these churches and monasteries were built, rebuilt, or renovated on the foundations of ancient monuments from the Roman and Byzantine periods.
It further states that this “expansion of the Serbian churches coincides with the medieval Serbian territory, which was declared by the historian Konstatin Jirecek.”
According to Jiricek, as he states Love, that territory between the 11th and 12th centuries was spread over several days of walking in a wide Byzantine border area between Serbs and Byzantines, between the Byzantine border cities of Prizren, Lipljan and Nis, on the one hand, and the Serbian mountain ranges above Lim and Ibar, with the other side.
“After the Serbian occupation in the time of Nemanja (1180), these rich natural areas were inhabited very quickly, especially near the springs of Beli Drim and Sitnica,” he writes. Love.
It states that “the territory of Kosovo after the invasions of the Serbian rulers Stefan Dečanski (1321-1331), Stefan Dušan (1331-1355) and during the last ruler of this dynasty Uroš (1355-1371) was in the central parts of the Nemanjić state “.
The Pristina newspaper claims that during Nemanjic’s time, the government and the Serbian Orthodox Church usurped many Catholic churches.
“At the same time, several religious buildings were adapted and renovated, such as the Church of St. Petka, the Church of St. Savior, the Church of St. Nicholas, the Monastery of Saints Michael and Gabriel, as well as the churches in Koriš, Velika Hoča , Musutište and others “, adds the text. .
“Serbian propaganda also influenced Ahtisaari”
Koha ditore recalls that in the international community, when Serbia speaks of rights over Kosovo, it raises the issue of churches and monasteries in Kosovo.
He estimates that this “unjust historical attempt was so successful that Serbian propaganda influenced the achievement of an international agreement ‘Comprehensive Proposal to Resolve the Status of Kosovo’, made by Finnish President Martti Ahtisaari, where the Orthodox monasteries built in the Middle Ages They were recognized as Srpska Legacy of the Orthodox Church.
