Kosovo, has now updated its already very extensive web site to detail (with many down-loadable photographs) over 40 Orthodox religious buildings and sites in Kosovo that are reported to have been damaged (or in some cases completely destroyed) since the end of the NATO bombing campaign and arrival of K-FOR in June: http://www.decani.yunet.com/destruction.html This suggests that there has been very widespread loss of and damage to important Orthodox religious buildings data through reprisals and what is described as terrorist action by the KLA, in marked contrast with the very limited "collateral" damage to a small number of religious sites and buildings during the NATO bombing. In relation Orthodox Church losses and damage during the earlier Yugoslav civil wars (particularly Croatia and Bosnia & Herzegovina, 1991-95) the illustrated book by Slobodan Mileusnic: "Spiritual Genocide 1991 - 1995" is now available on line in English: http://spc.org.yu/Genocid/indexe.html Patrick Boylan
