Church rivalry and Artemije supporters Coordinator’s office for the Strategy of North Various Serb-Serb conflicts and rivalries in north extend also in the religious field. The division that happened in the Raska-Prizren bishopric, increasing into an open conflict involved north in particular. Division between the two lines in this bishopric, and in general <strong>with</strong>in the Serb Orthodox Church, involved well-known stakeholders from different interest groups from north. The decision to replace bishop Artemije who was holding the position for many years brought a politically radical wing from north in his protection, supported by Marko Jaksic, Milan Ivanovic and other exponents from DSS. But, here were also involved different groups of ultra-right youth and sport hooligan groups, as was elaborated previously in this report. Thus, organized groups by Igor Vojinovic and “Narodni Pokret Otadjbina” were involved also in the well-known conflict in front of Gracanica monastery during February 2011, where two church groups were involved in a physical fight in front of cameras. In fact, Vojinovic was seen armed in the Duboki Potok monastery in November 2010 when together <strong>with</strong> Artemije followers took control over this monastery. Following this event, Vojinovic was pursued by Kosovo Police, but quite strangely he managed to escape through the window of his apartment in Mitrovica during the police operation. Different groups like “Obraz”, “Nacionalni Stroj”, “1389” openly took sides supporting the Artemije group. This support was politically backed by the Marko Jaksic group and “Civil Support”. This made north not only an active factor in this division, but also became its own epilogue. Thus, church group around Artemije, supported by this political wing is located in north of Kosovo, and took over in an anti-canonical manner control over some monasteries, like Duboki Potok and different churches in municipality of Zubin Potok, Zvecan and Leposavic. This was an open attempt to confront the central authority of Serb Orthodox Church, clearly supported by the pro Tadic political wing. In fact, this marked the most serious attempt for a kind of schism <strong>with</strong>in KOS.60 Such an activity happened <strong>with</strong> an open support of the pro DSS wing and various radical and ultra-right groupings. In fact, Artemije and his wing that previously had support from groups suspected of serious misuses <strong>with</strong>in the Church, including huge financial means, such as the case <strong>with</strong> the monk Simeon Vilsovki, secretary of the Raska-Prizren bishopric, who a while ago emigrated to Greece when he received the warrant to arrest from Serb investigation authorities.61 Bishop Artemije started an activity in north that implicated wide support and logistic establishment in different parts in north, like the house of Rajko Miletic in Zitkovc who currently lives in Arangelovc in Serbia and who is suspected for attack against KFOR. It is believed that such base-houses exist also in Zupc of Zubin Potok, Lesak, Leposavic, etc. Unconfirmed information linked the support of Artemije in north <strong>with</strong> Russian ultra-right groups. In the end, Aretemije’s putsch attempt was driven back from direct Kosovo Police intervention, which in a combined action, starting from the request of legitimate Church authorities and Raska-Prizren bishopric acting in Kosovo, but also <strong>with</strong> a support of authorities in Belgrade and other kosovar and international authorities managed to avoid the putsch group of church fraction, which left Kosovo physically, although it seems that a group of their supporters remained still. 55
