The Religious leaders of Kosovo Serbian Orthodox bishop Kyr Artemije (L) and the vice dean of the Faculty of Islamic Studies in Pristina Qemajl Morina, (2L) sit with conference organiser U.S. Rabbi Arthur Schneier, Austrian Chancellor Viktor Klima and Roman Catholic Bishop Marko Sopi, as they sign a declaration of peace and reconciliation in a conference over the strife-torn province March 18. Rabbi Schneier, a Holocaust survivor who heads the New York-based Appeal for Conscience Foundation, convened the gathering of religious leaders in a bid to make them go back home to Kosovo and preach peace and forgiveness among their alienated people.
