The monk was inside the monastery of saints Cosmas and Damian in the village of Žočište, near Orahovac.
"A group of five to six young ethnic Albanian men, as they passed by the monastery, shouted at monk Dionisije, who was checking on the monastery property at the time, and then they threw a fairly large rock at him, which, fortunately, missed him," Radio Kosovska Mitrovica-based Kontakt Plus has reported.
The incident happened at around 19:00 CET, and it culminated when the group took the trousers off of one of the children who was with them and turned the naked child towards Dionisije while shouting in Albanian, the radio stated.
The monastery brotherhood soon reported the incident to the police, who arrived 30 minutes later to compile a report that stated only that a rock was thrown.
The police asked the monks to describe the men, so they could identify them, Kontakt Plus stated.
According to the station, the incident occurred just three hours after head of the German contingent within KFOR Bernd Holthusen visited the monastery.

oh dear B92, this is not even news. this falls into the category of, not even petty crime, just mindless stupidity. its interesting that they even threw ONE stone, described here as a fairly large rock (i have no idea what that actually means, it has a radius of 2.5 meters?) . seriously, you're attempting to paint a life of Serbs which does not resemble reality. this is the life they live, 2 wages (which to me is rather bizarre) and they get to disrupt Kosova's development. they threw A stone? dear me. what next, an Albanian made a pass at a poor hapless nun?

A monk, such a humble and harmless individual, what on earth could he have done to provoke this? Sick people doing as they do best once again, terrorising.

We are always reading complaints from Albanians how Serbs have so much hatred for them and that is the problem.
Well, it's the hatred that is coming from Albanians that is the problem. Maybe the monk is part of the dreaded MUP or is a war criminal. Maybe that's why they are throwing stones at him. I am sure they will come up with some excuse which makes sense only to them.
Albanians, how can you expect love and respect from Serbs when you are the ones who are so full of hatred that you are teaching your children to carry on this venom.
You have no right to expect anything but contempt from Serbs and all other non Albanians because you clearly deserve it.

Nikolle, this is exactly what a life of a Serb is in Kosovo.
Can you tell us why a rock would be thrown at a monk? Is this how you people raise your children?
Unbelievable, you people will find a way to excuse anything as long as your lot did it.
Do you have any human feelings toward anyone else but yourselves?

The rock did not hit the monk, but it did hit the (Serbian) news. Jeremic already calling for an emergency session in UNSC?

Do not belittle this rock throwing incident, Nikolle, it is an example of the constant effort by Kosovo Albanians to intimidate the remaining Serb population. Why, Nikolle, did these young Albanians not offer to help the Serbian priest, instead of attempting to hit him with a rock? As for exposing a youths rear and genitals to the priest, what the hell is that all about? Weird, no?

The trial of former Republic of Srpska (RS) Army Commander Ratko Mladić started at 9:00 on Wednesday in the Hague Tribunal.

Mothers of victims who were killed in Srebrenica gathered in front of the Hague Tribunal this morning.
Presiding judge Alphons Orie stressed at the beginning of the trial that the defendant’s defense had decided not to give an opening statement at this point and that they would do so when the prosecution starts presenting evidence.
Orie said that the court was considering postponing the presentation of evidence, which is scheduled for May 29, due to the prosecution’s failure to send them to the defense on time.
The prosecution started its opening statement soon after.
The crimes committed by the Bosnian Serb forces during the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina were a part of a plan to separate non-Serbian population from Serbs, to ethnically cleanse the territory the Serbs considered their own and to connect the Serb territories inside Bosnia and secure a connection with Serbia, Prosecutor Dermot Groome said at the beginning of the trial.
“Ratko Mladić's fingers are visible in all crimes against non-Serbs in Bosnia, from Markale to Srebrenica,“ he said in an opening argument.
The prosecutor backed up his claims with documents and statements made by former RS President Radovan Karadžić, former RS parliament Speaker Momčilo Krajišnik and Mladić himself and war plans which were made 20 years ago.
He claimed that the defendant had known what was going to happen in the very beginning of the armed conflict, quoting Mladić’s statement that it would be difficult to separate people based on their ethnicity in Bosnia because “people are not keys in a pocket so you can move them around. It is easy to say but hard to achieve”.
The prosecution also quoted entries from Mladić’s journal which had been found during the search of his house in Belgrade.
Groome pointed out that “Bosnian Serb leaders started attacking their fellow citizens in Bosnia only because they belonged to other religion or nation”.
“The Bosnian Serb forces became well-practiced by the end of the war and they became experts in killing people,” the prosecutor said.
Groome added that camps where Muslims and Croats were detained, tortured and killed were opened to help the ethnic cleansing, pointing out that some had been founded by the RS Army and that therefore there was no doubt that Mladić had been aware of their existence.
The prosecution will, for the last time in the Hague Tribunal, try to prove the allegation that has so far been rejected in all trials of Bosnian Serb leaders – that the crimes that happened across Bosnia-Herzegovina and not just in Srebrenica, could be qualified as genocide.
Mladić is also charged with genocide against Croats.
Mladić is charged with 11 counts of genocide in Srebrenica and another seven municipalities in Bosnia-Herzegovina, crimes against humanity and violation of the law and customs of war.
A total of 413 witnesses will testify in the trial. The Prosecution will start presenting evidence and call the first witnesses on May 29.

Lenard, you are still to account for all of the victims of Ustasa crimes during WWII and the war in the 90s, numbers which combine most likely amount to more than a million. So yes it is very rich of you and other Croats to make such statements, don't think that your devotion to Catholocism makes your people exempt from facing justice, the Catholic Church is itself very criminal, and a disgrace to Christianity.

Are they going to first define the word "genocide" and then explain how is it that he allowed women and children to leave Srebrenica?
11 counts of genocide? Even if Srebrenica was considered that where was the other ten?

yes, murdering 8000 unarmed civilians should not count as genocide i agree. mercy killing is more appropriate.

Peggy,
The word 'genocide' has already been defined in this context, and you know it.
To argue that Srebrenica isn't genocide because not enough were killed or not enough women were killed is a pretty macabre hair to split.
It's like arguing loudly that no Jews were murdered during WWII because "murder" describes a crime under law and it wasn't a crime to kill Jews.
So, perhaps there's some hyper-specific truth in "No Jews were murdered during WWII", what why bother? What's the purpose? It's a pretty dark hair to split for no reason.
