The Monastery of the Holy Trinity in Mušutište (also known as Rusinica) was a Serbian Eastern Orthodox monastery and a monument of exceptional importance.[1] It was founded in the 14th century on the Rusinica hill above Mušutište, in Kosovo and Metohia [a]. The monastery’s existence in written records was first dated to 1465. It was well known for its valuable collection of manuscripts dating from the 14th to the 18th century. Particularly noted were a 'Book of Commemoration' from 1465 and a hand-written Gospel from the 14th century. The monastery also treasured a collection of wooden icons from the 1800s.[2][3]
In June 1999, the Monastery of Holy Trinity in Mušutište was looted by Albanian militants[4][5] and in July of the same year it was completely blown up. The fire after the explosion destroyed all the buildings in the church courtyard, along with the nearby Church of the Holy Theotokos Hodigetria and the ancient manuscripts.[6][7]
Notes
- ^ Kosovo is the subject of a territorial dispute between the Republic of Kosovo and the Republic of Serbia. The Republic of Kosovo unilaterally declared independence on 17 February 2008. Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory. The two governments began to normalise relations in 2013, as part of the 2013 Brussels Agreement. Kosovo is currently recognized as an independent state by 97 out of the 193 United Nations member states. In total, 113 UN member states are said to have recognized Kosovo at some point, of which 15 later withdrew their recognition.
