Moscow, November 15, Interfax - Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow and All Russia has condemned the policy of double standards applied to Kosovo Serbs.
The Russian patriarch said in an interview with the Tanyug news agency ahead of his talks with President of Serbia Boris Tadic that the Russian Orthodox Church supports the Serb Orthodox Church in that "the status of Kosovo and Metohia could be defined only on the basis of consensus attained in talks."
Alexy II disputed international peacekeeper declarations that the situation in Kosovo and Metohia is returning to normal.
"Serbs were mostly ousted from the land of their ancestors, while representatives of the non-Albanian ethnic groups still residing in the few enclaves are leading a miserable existence," the Russian patriarch said.
"Attempts are being made to erase all traces of Serb culture in the region, including monuments of Christian culture under UNESCO protection," Alexy II said.
