Mostar today laid a corner stone for a new Church of the
Resurrection. #L#
The corner stone and the construction site were consecrated by
the Bishop of Mostar, Msgr. Ratko Peric. The corner stone was laid
by the parish priest of Sveti Ivan parish, Ivan Vuksic and western
Mostar Mayor Mijo Brajkovic.
'These people want to and have to remain in this area',
Brajkovic said in a short address to the gathered, adding that
there was no power in the world which could stand in their way.
The laying of the corner stone was also attended by the
President of the Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kresimir Zubak.
The construction site of the Church of the Resurrection is
located in the western part of Mostar, near the 'Ero' hotel, the
part of the city which, according to the decision of the EU
Administrator of Mostar Hans Koschnik, should enter the central
district.
The parish priest Ivan Vuksic said that the church authorities
had bought the construction site from the municipal authorities of
Mostar two years ago, with the intention to build a new church
there.
