These monasteries are under 24-hour international occupying force guard to prevent Albanian extremists from destroying them (they already managed to destroy or demage over 100!).

Here are some more photos

The Monastery High Dechani, 677 years old, in Kosovo, Serbia, surrounded by chestnuts.

Each morning starts with the Divine Liturgy (Mass)

The choir (the "harmonious monks").

I hope I can see these monuments of Serbian Orthodoxy one of these days. My ancestros prayed in them in the same manner and in the same language we use to worship to this day.
