It is written like that in the land-owner papers. I showed this to the Bosnian grand Mufti. It does say that the owner is Fata Orlovic, but the land is called Crkvina. And for us this means a lot."

STORYLINE:
A Bosnian Muslim widow's battle to remove a Serbian Orthodox church from her land came to an end on Thursday.
After eight years of court proceedings, the church will be moved.
In a small village of Konjevic Polje, about 20 kilometres (12.4 miles) east of Srebrenica, a huge Serb Orthodox church built in the yard in front of a smaller private house dominates the scene.
The church was built in the time of the four-year long war between the Serb and Muslim armies, and it was built by the Serbian church on the private land of a Muslim owner, Fata Orlovic.
Her husband was killed and she was made a refugee.
