Demolition Destroys Orthodox Church in Bosnia; Church Built Illegally on Muslim Woman's Land

 An Eastern Orthodox Church built illegally on the property of a Bosnian Muslim woman was demolished on June 5 in the village of Konjevic Polje in the Serbian-controlled province of Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty website reports today (June 7, 2021).


The removal of the church, built on land belonging to Fata Orlovic after she was forced to flee during the 1992-1995 civil war, was ordered by the European Court of Human Rights in October 2019.


Early on June 5, workers with construction machinery and a crane brought down the white-colored church and its tower bell.
