The Peja Patriarchate was registered by UNESCO as part of "Medieval Monuments in Kosovo" – yet it is Albanian historical heritage. This ancient Albanian monument was Albanian until recently, right up until the time of Mehmed Pasha Sokolović in 1557, when his brother Patriarch Makarije Sokolović took it under Serbian control. Albanians in the 13th century were Orthodox or crypto-Catholic, and these churches belonged to us. The frescoes inside and outside are living proof of that – but the Serbs deliberately destroyed them to erase Albanian traces. The monastery was painted red specifically to cover up the symbols and frescoes with Albanian motifs carved into the walls. Inside, the walls were chiselled away to remove the Illyro-Albanian symbols. If it were really theirs, they would never have allowed it to end up in this state. The Serbs, as late arrivals after the 1054 church schism, found Orthodox Albanians already living here. The facts speak clearly, even as documents continue to disappear day by day.
