As a matter of a fact, the same thing happened to Lesok monastery. Unfortunately, we do not know what has been stolen before the burning down, and what has been destroyed by the fire. The same thing happened with the displays from the collections in the Teke and other religious and museum objects that are under the control of the Albanian terrorists, Director of Museum of Tetovo Area Srecko Jovanovski stated, after Saturdays act of vandalism. Church St. Gjorgija is the 13th sacral object in Tetovo area, which was a target of the Albanian terrorists, and was one of the rare objects, which foundations dated from the 14th century. Namely, the remains of the church were discovered in 1920, while the restoration occurred 10 years later. Monastery shelters were built in 1965. Two years later, the Republic Bureau for Protection of Cultural Monuments sent a team to perform archaeological researches in order to determine time belonging. Team manager was art historian Petar Miljkovik Pepek, who said: I performed a small sondage from the external north side and I did not determine the depth of the foundation, because I came up at a bunch of old frescos that could help in determining the age of the church, and partly the decoration itself. According to the fragments of the decoration, it can be said that it dates from the 14th century. The remains of the frescos were given to the laboratory of the Bureau for research and conservation. The archaeological research confirmed that it had been a small church. There is no doubt that church St.Gjorgija is a significant monument not only for Tetovo area, but for history of medieval art in Macedonia. Based on this data, the church was registered as a monument of culture the very same year. Unfortunately, this temple was demolished and robbed several times in the past 10 months by the Albanian terrorists, in order for it to be entirely destroyed at the end. The damage is even greater, having in mind that there is no photo-documentation, according to which the church could be reconstructed. burnt monastery St. Gjorgi in village Mala Recica.
