→Church of Serbia
This church was devastated by [[communism]], and later restored by the nationalist movement of [[Slobodan Milosevic]].<ref>https://historydraft.com/story/slobodan-milosevic/milosevic-allowed-the-mobilization-of-serb-nationalist-organizations-to-go-unhindered/408/5509</ref> Though many bishops did not embrace the "Orthodoxy is Nationalism" rhetoric, many of the Orthodox laity did.

The spiritual heartland of this Church is [[Kosovo]] where Prince Lazar and the peoples of eastern Europe attempted to defend their homeland against the invading [[Ottoman Empire]] in 1389.

In the 1990s Muslim Albanians waged a guerrilla war against the newly restored Orthodox Serbs that led to the destruction of many centuries-old monasteries and churches. The Orthodox Church is very concerned with the heartland of the Church being ripped away from Serbia and has urged fighting to prevent this from occurring.<ref>[https://www.reuters.com/article/latestCrisis/idUSHAM738779 Serb church urges state of war over Kosovo], Reuters, Feb 17, 2008.</ref>
