Draganac Monastery: Serbian Graveyard in Gnjilan Desecrated, Tombstones and Crosses Destroyed

In a post on social media, Draganac Monastery stated that the Albanian and Serbian cemeteries in Gnjilan lie right next to each other, with the image of the two cemeteries being starkly different.

"Order, greenery, and tombstones are on one side, while on the other, there are broken, toppled tombstones, names removed, desecrated crosses, weeds, and a faint memory of the city where more than 15,000 Serbs once lived," the post reads.

It further adds that the living fare no better today, and that Gnjilan presents a horrifying image of two peoples living and dying side by side, irreconciled.

"Christ will certainly come to judge both the living and the dead, but until then - let us be human. May the Lord give us the strength to fight for survival on this holy land, and may our hearts remain Christian, with a place for all," the Draganac Monastery post concludes.

Before the conflicts in Kosovo and Metohija, over 15,000 Serbs lived in Gnjilan, but today only about 40 remain.
