Orthodox churches are of Catholic ancestry
Beta - May 6, 2004

PRISTINA -- Thursday - Kosovo daily newspaper Bota Sot reported that “the Orthodox religious objects in Kosovo are mostly of Illyrian ancestry."

The newspaper also accused that the destruction of these churches and monasteries in the March riots was “a political scheme against the Kosovo Albanians."

Accord to Bota Sot, the churches in Kosovo are from the Illyrian age, quoting information from an unnamed “Kosovo archeologist,“ adding that before the churches were “modified“ to look like objects of the Eastern Orthodox Christian faith, they were objects of “the Catholic Illyrian Church, churches of western Christianity."
