Just before Orthodox Christmas, the Serbian Patriarch Irenej urged Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija to be unflappable "in unjust suffering and stand in their homes, the church and the holy land of their grandfathers and great-grandfathers".
Neposredno prije pravoslavnog Božića, srpski patrijarh Irinej pozvao je Srbe na Kosovu i Metohiji da budu ustrajni "u nepravednom stradanju, te ostanu na svojim ognjištima, uz svoju crkvu i na svetoj zemlji svojih djedova i pradjedova".
