It is a pity that even in the 14th century the Church of the Presentation of the Virgin Mary in Lipljan was not left alone. Two Albanians hung UCHK flags directly on the fence - and the police took them down, but then what? Let’s see how the prosecutor’s office and the court will call this a “prank” or will they still see hatred.
