[PEN-L:6122] Re: Re: partition?

["J. Barkley Rosser, Jr." <rosserjb@xxxxxxx>]

      Actually, to pin it down more precisely, the
two most revered sites are Pec, the
"Jerusalem" of the Serbian Orthodox Church,
and the battlefield of Kosovo Polje, site of the
Turkish victory in 1389 over the medieval
Serbian kingdom.  Pec is in the west and perhaps
could be included in some zone of Serb control
coming down from the north.  However, Kosovo
Polje is now in an suburb of the capital city,
Pristina, which is a bit southeast of the center
of Kosovo-Metohija.  Not too easy to get that
one in some "northern zone."
     The next most revered sites are the medieval
capital of Prizren which is deep in the south and
the monastery of Glaglovic (sp?) which is practically
on the border in the south.  The latter has reportedly
been hit by NATO bombs.  No way either of those
is going to be in a northern Serb zone.
     BTW, the Latin alphabet spelling in Montenegro of
its Serbo-Croatian  name is "Crna Gora," pronounced
"Cherna Gora" ("black mountain").
