"We are seeking from the international community to immediately find and punish the perpetrators of this act of vandalism and also the vandals who broke into the chapel of the church in the village of Bresje, Kosovo Polje, at Christmas Day," says the KiM Office's Sunday release.
The KIM Office also condemned "an attempt to conceal the truth by the so-called Kosovo authorities."
"In the past few days, a total of 56 Serb gravestones were destroyed at the central cemetery in Kosovo Polje, rather than in the village of Makarabe as the Kosovo Police Service (KPS) states in a report," says the release.
The KiM Office said it wanted to remind both UNMIK and the OSCE of the fact that the tombstones in Makarabe had been destroyed long ago, stressing that the KPS had been grossly abusing the fact.
