"Serbs in Kosovo suffer like no other nation in Europe"

There is no other nation that is suffering as much as Serbs in Kosovo are now, Serbian Orthodox Church Partiarch Irinej told.

Irinej said that Serbs in Kosovo live in constant fear and that many have laid down their lives for the right to stay on their homesteads at the time when European forces came to stabilize the situation in Kosovo and protect the local population.

"Many more people were killed in this period than before the peacekeeping forces arrived, and this is a tragedy," Irinej said and added that chaos dominates in the territory of Kosovo.

According to the patriarch, a great number of people want to return to Kosovo but cannot go back because of the lack of stability and normal living conditions.

Maybe some better, safer times would come when many people would be able to return, Irinej said.
