KOSOVO AND METOHIA: HERE AND NOW

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO DOCUMENT ABOUT THE DAMAGED AND DEVASTED CHRISTIAN CHURCHES AND SANCTUARIES IN KOSOVO AND METOHIA
EXCLUSIVE DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE
DEAR VISITOR
This video document is an integral version of the material recorded in Kosovo and Metohija earlier this year, with English subtitles. It was produced solely thanks to the people who supported my project proposal and whose names are listed in the section of this website dedicated to donations received.
Unique video recordings show the actual condition of some of the most ancient Serbian Orthodox shrines in Kosovo and Metohija. Today, they have been turned into piles of stones or have already been leveled to the ground.
This unique testimony about Serbia's endangered spiritual and cultural heritage in Kosovo and Metohija is made even more exclusive by the fact that many of these videos are, in fact, the ONLY video evidence available to the public today.
These videos have already been presented as separate video segments on my YouTube channel, which has received numerous visits and words of gratitude that this type of information is finally available to the public.
Despite the significant interest and positive feedback from my YouTube channel, this did not lead to any serious support or interest from institutions, media outlets, and the wider public, primarily in Serbia and the Serbian diaspora. This lack of support is hindering the production of the complete record of all demolished Serbian Orthodox shrines in Kosovo and Metohija.
The main intention of the Kosovo Now and Here project, which I presented last year on this website was to produce such a document, hoping it could significantly impact the preservation of Serbian cultural heritage.
Given that I cannot finance the entire logistics necessary for further filming in Kosovo and Metohija to be possible, the document that I am now offering to the Serbian and world public also concludes the work on this topic that I began almost 30 years ago.
I am deeply grateful to everyone who has supported me in this work. Your contributions and support have been invaluable.
Anyone interested in officially presenting this documentary to relevant institutions and media in Serbia and the world can contact me at ninoslav0828@gmail.com.
For this purpose, I suggest that project donors who are American citizens and live in the USA contact the offices of influential people and organizations in the USA with a proposal and request that this document be presented to the US Congress and Senate.
Also, I suggest that all project donors who are American citizens officially support the proposal I send to the newly appointed US ambassador to Serbia when he takes office. In that proposal, I would ask the American Embassy also to support this document's presentation in Congress and the Senate.
KOSOVO AND METOHIA: HERE AND NOW
Reports on the state of destroyed and devastated Serbian Orthodox churches and sanctuaries in Kosovo and Metohia are scarce in Serbian and world media.
A video document that would register a comprehensive, authentic, and current situation regarding the damaged Serbian Orthodox cultural heritage in Kosovo and Metohia does not exist.
I am convinced that this latest video, presented here, indicates the urgent need for a more complete documentary record of the factual situation when it comes to the locations where Orthodox churches, monuments, and Serbian cemeteries are damaged or demolished.
KOSOVO AND METOHIA: HERE AND NOW
When I launched this website in September 2024, I aimed to produce a COMPREHENSIVE documentary about Serbia's endangered cultural heritage in Kosovo and Metohia.
According to official data, 127 Orthodox churches and monasteries were demolished and desecrated in Kosovo and Meтоhia.
I wanted to document a nation's endangered cultural heritage, a global issue transcending borders.
KOSOVO AND METOHIA: HERE AND NOW
The Result of my campaign
35 individuals and two Serbian organizations in the USA have responded to my proposal, raising $10,000.
Thanks to their support and the support of people who volunteered to assist me in the field and provide me with the necessary logistics, I produced the most recent video document presented on this website.
Unfortunately, the minimum budget needed for producing a more comprehensive document is $25,000, and at this point, I do not see it realistic to pursue the fundraising campaign any longer.
Instead, I will focus on presenting the existing document to the relevant political institutions and media in Serbia and elsewhere.
Any assistance you may provide toward that goal would be greatly appreciated.

KOSOVO AND METOHIA: HERE AND NOW
NINOSLAV RADJELOVIC - FILMOGRAPHY
As an independent author and producer, I have dedicated my work to shedding light on the humanitarian crisis, safety, and human rights violations suffered by the civilian Serbian population in Kosovo. This commitment is reflected in the 19 documentary films and numerous television reports I have produced, each serving as a voice for the oppressed.
My films have been broadcast on Serbian and European television networks and shown at international film festivals, where several have received awards.
They have also been presented at academic institutions in Europe and the United States, including OESCE, UNESCO, the United Nations, U.S. Capitol Hill, the National Press Club, the European Parliament, and the Russian Parliament.
My Kosovo films on YouTube
Please take a look at some of my Kosovo films produced in the period 1998-2007.
SOME OF THE DVD EDITIONS OF MY KOSOVO FILMS
In 2006, the DVD edition "Document of Suffering" was printed in the USA and presented at the US Senate and Congress.
In 2007, a special edition of 6 of my films about Kosovo was presented in Russia. The entire circulation of this edition was delivered to the representatives of the Russian State Duma, and all films were shown on Russian national television.
In 2008, the DVD edition "Days Made of Fear" was presented in Belgrade's Patriarchate of the Serbian Orthodox Church. With the blessing of His Holiness Patriarch Pavle, it was officially delivered to all members of the European Parliament and presented at many relevant European cultural institutions.
THREE KOSOVO FILMS FOR THE UNITED NATIONS
In 2009, an independent DVD edition was issued in New York. It included three of my documentaries on the Kosovo crisis with subtitles in six official UN languages.
With the initial endorsement from several Missions to the UN country members, 192 UN country members received this document, and films were broadcast in 147 countries worldwide.
