Bishop Artemije says the SPC clergy and monks have severed contact with Pristina and EULEX. The head of the Rasko-Prizrenska Eparchy said that the Serb Orthodox Church in Kosovo would not be in contact with the Kosovo Albanian government in Pristina, the EU Kosovo mission (EULEX) or any country that recognizes Kosovo’s unilateral independence declaration. Church in Kosovo cuts ties with Pristina, EULEX According to Artemije, the stance was taken in protest of the unilateral proclamation, the decision of the EU to send a mission to Kosovo without an agreement within the United Nations Security Council, and the decision by individual countries to recognize Kosovo’s independence. He stated that with this, the UN Security Council Resolution 1244 and the Serbian constitution have been violated, “and these actions are therefore illegitimate and illegal, an furthermore, legally nonexistent.” According to Artemije’s decision, there should be “no contact, no discussions regarding any matter, no visits from or to any countries that recognized Kosovo independence, Pristina and EULEX". The bishop added that all violations by church officials of these rules “will be severely sanctioned.”

Snažno nevreme stiže u Srbiju

U većem delu Srbije će danas pre podne biti pretežno sunčano, toplo, suvo i vetrovito, uz olujnu košavu u Beogradu, na jugu Banata, u Pomoravlju i donjem Podunavlju, a već u poslepodnevnim satima biće kratkotrajne kiše ili pljuskova.
