The political and military conflict involving Kosovo seemed to have no end in sight and the threat was that the war would spread into other regions. Millions of Kosovans were being forced from their homes and their lands. Vicka said that we must seek peace in our hearts through prayer because it is the only way that the situation will improve in Kosovo. Vicka told pilgrims:
“Our Lady said that too much is said about the war, and people do not pray enough. Agitation and fear do not help, but to the contrary, are used by the enemy.â€
At the start of the war in Bosnia, Our Lady told Vicka that wars start in man’s heart and from the heart it eventually manifests itself physically.
