RS-64969

I saw this card and thought it would be from Russia or Belarus. Then I saw the ID and the stamp and realized it was sent from Serbia but google images identified this church as Basil of Ostrog Monastery in Bijeljina, a city in Bosnia and Herzegovina. 
 
RS-64969, sent by Anna.
Basil of Ostrog Monastery in the center of Bijeljina is a newly built monastery (2001.) Dedicated to St Basil of Ostrog. The bell tower with a clock of over 30 meters dominates the surroundings and a symbol of the monastery. As part of the monastery is a museum, dining room, library, hermitages for monks. Inside the temple is painted magnificent frescoes. It is particularly valuable copy Trojeručica miraculous icons, the gift from Hilandar monastery. - in: wikipedia
