Inat crkva: jedno ratno prisjećanje
The Church of spite (inat): one war memory

Summary/Abstract: The author attempts to connect the case of the Orthodox church built in the yard of grandmother Fata Orlović in Konjević Polje, which was finally demolished and removed after a long and painful struggle, with the fate of the Orthodox church during the war years in the semi-besieged Gračanica, which was targeted by Serbian artillery from the Ozren mountain, alongside all other places of worship and buildings in the city center. He claims that both are so-called churches of spite, but with opposite meanings. The one in the yard of grandmother Fata was built in spite of common sense, human and divine justice. The other in Gračanica, after being damaged by Serb artillery was repaired and restored by Bosniak Muslims in spite of every evil. The same ones who saved it from expected revenge, after the last Serbian grenade destroyed the minaret of the White mosque in the center of Gračanica. Again, spiting evil.
