Representatives of the Student List, which secured victory in Serbia's parliamentary elections, have visited Kosovo and Metohija, where they met with Metropolitan Teodosije of Raška and Prizren to discuss the situation of the Serbian population, the protection of Orthodox religious sites and the living conditions of local communities.

The visit took place following the official confirmation of the election results, according to the Diocese of Raška and Prizren of the Serbian Orthodox Church.

The meeting was held at Gračanica Monastery. Metropolitan Teodosije briefed the delegation on the challenges facing Serbs living in Kosovo, including the need to ensure the safety of families, provide children with access to education and guarantee medical care for the sick. He also stressed the importance of allowing local residents to live and work in peace.

Representatives of the student movement expressed their commitment to defending the rights of the Serbian community and protecting Orthodox churches and monasteries. They also pledged to maintain regular contact with local residents, saying that these issues should become a priority in their future work within state institutions.

Following the meeting, the delegation visited the Visoki Dečani Monastery, where its members attended an Orthodox service and venerated the relics of St. King Stefan Dečanski. They also met with the monastery's abbot, Archimandrite Sava, and members of the monastic brotherhood.

Discussions focused on the preservation of historical monuments, the protection of Church property, the security of monastic communities and conditions for pilgrims visiting Orthodox holy sites.

In the city of Prizren, the delegation also visited the Church of the Virgin of Ljeviš and other Orthodox religious landmarks.

 

Visoki Dečani Monastery is one of the most significant monuments of Serbian history and medieval culture. Founded in the 14th century by King Stefan Dečanski and completed under his son, Emperor Stefan Dušan, the monastery houses the tomb of its founder.

The monastery church is renowned for its remarkable frescoes, which represent one of the finest examples of Byzantine artistic tradition in the region.

In 2004, Visoki Dečani was included on the UNESCO World Heritage List as part of the Medieval Monuments in Kosovo. Since 2006, the site has also been listed as World Heritage in Danger.

 

The Student List is a political movement that emerged from the mass student protests that have continued in Serbia for approximately two years.

In the early parliamentary elections held on October 25, the movement secured 140 seats in the Serbian parliament, becoming the country's largest political force.

The delegation's visit to Kosovo and Metohija highlighted the movement's stated intention to address the concerns of the Serbian community in the region, particularly regarding security, religious heritage and the protection of fundamental rights.
