Damages to churches and other cultural / religious
properties during the recent riots 17-18 March 2004 in Kosovo
09. May. 2004.
This document is a first step by CHwB to try to get control over
what actually happened with the orthodox and Serbian heritage
during the riots. With this as a base we hope we can contribute
to the protection of the monuments in danger.
The facts are collected in cooperation between UNMIK, Kosovo Ministry
of Culture and CHwB (photos are taken by all three groups), with
great help by Mr. András Riedlmayer from Harvard University,
USA, who did documentation after the war 1999.
Mr. Riedlmayer has contributed to the list by correcting faults,
making comments and informed about websites.
CHwB
has fetched pictures and facts from Internet and also used the
Inventory made by the Serbian NGO Mnemosyne 2001-2002.
Explanations:
We have tried to present all the different names that we have
found in English, Serbian and Albanian.
The names of the municipalities are in both Serbian and Albanian.
Participating in the documentation work:
UNMIK = UN Mission in Kosovo: architect Carole Lepetre and Mr.
Stefano Sgobba.
DoC = Kosovo Department of Culture: Head of Heritage Division
architect Gjejlane Hoxha, Heritage officer architect Vjollca Aliu
and Art historian Professor Fejaz Drancolli.
CHwB = Swedish Foundation for Cultural Heritage without Borders:
International Project Coordinator architect Dick Sandberg, Project
Manager civil engineer Sezair Gafurri, architect Bujar Prestreshi
and economist Florie Topanica.
Of
course there may occur faults and mistakes, but please contribute
by giving your comments and knowledge of missing facts.
