    it should be under the protection of UNESCO.
    But they fear in the Kosovo outside the monastery walls.
    It’s a shame both for Serbia and for the whole world.
    Ruse is holy, church, cemetery and nothing. Everything is peacefully watched.
    Albanians can do what they want to have the USA. And the Serbs are bobbing. Bad guys, are not you?
