Trip to Kosovo with Tripmart.com
Kosovo
(Albanian: Kosova, Serbian: Kосово и Метохија, Kosovo i Metohija) is a disputed
territory and "de-facto" independent country in South Eastern Europe.
After a lengthy and often violent dispute with Serbia, Kosovo declared
independence in February 2008 and is recognised by 88 countries out of 193
around the world, despite heavy Serbian opposition[1]. Kosovo's far north along
with two small regions elsewhere are under the local control of their Serbian
authorities indicating a Serb majority in these parts. Kosovo is largely an
Albanian-speaking and Muslim area (though secular), but there are also
significant numbers of minorities living within its borders, especially Serbs.
Kosovo borders Albania to the west, Montenegro to the northwest, Macedonia to
the south, and Serbia (from its perspective) to the northeast; the latter frontier
is viewed by Serbia as being an internal boundary separating Kosovo as an
internal province with Central Serbia.
The
population of Kosovo is about 92% Albanian, who use the name Kosova in their
Albanian tongue. Although the official name in English Republic of Kosovo is
approved by Kosovo's Albanian-speaking authorities, the word Kosova still finds
its way into the English vernacular of locals.
Many
people in Kosovo can speak English and German; they are more than willing to
help you and tell you their stories. As an outsider, you will get to hear both
sides.
If
you are interested in more than just seeing beautiful mountains and ancient
ruins on your vacation to 'the region', Kosovo strongly recommends itself.
Seeing
the UN and the international community in action (or lack thereof) is quite
interesting.
Speaking
to people in a post conflict environment is an eye opener that tends to cause a
person to stop thinking of people in countries of civil conflict as simply
nuts.
You'll
get a first hand view of more than 6 different cultures (Albanian, Serb, Roma,
Ashkalia, Bosniak, and Turkish)
You'll
gain an understanding of what happens when governments allow industry to
function when both environmental regulations and solid, defensible property
rights are scarce.
You'll
come to enjoy a lot of coffee-shops around Prishtina.
The
Kosovars tend to be very friendly towards the USA for its support of their
independence (ie: they have "Bill Clinton Boulevard" in Prishtina, as
well as a large picture mural of him on the side of a building). They also are
very friendly to Western European and Middle Eastern countries.
