The Eparch approved the building of the church. On May 12, 2007, the feast of St. Vasilije Ostroški, the foundations of the church were blessed in the name of Eparchen by the archpriest Rade Savić. Nedeljko Malinović from Belgrade , who comes from the village, was the godfather of the church foundations .
On May 12, 2011 the church was inaugurated by Eparchen Hrizostom, hundreds of believers attended the inauguration. The church was sponsored by the couple Milan and Cvijana Plavšić from Šipovo.
