"We see this as unjust, same as we see as unjust the decision to award the International Nobel Peace Prize to Martti Ahtisaari, whose plan helped the seizure of Kosovo from Serbia", the Russian patriarch said.
He said that it should be kept in mind that the region is Holy land for the Serbian people, among other things, because of the quantity of churches and monasteries.
