A small young state, recognised as a sovereign state by 107 UN member states. It is landlocked and is bordered by the Republic of Macedonia to the south, Albania to the west and Montenegro to the northwest. The citizens need a Visa for the most countries except Albania and Monte Negro. But this is the home of kind and warm open-hearted people. The food is cheap and excellent, the culture and spirit as in all big cities in the World, they have the Euro as currency, the gay marriage is legal, and it's forbidden to smoke in the bars. This is the place where singer-songwriter James Blunt met a girl in the Kosovo war, fell in love, the family didn't approve, so he got back with a broken heart and wrote the songs which made his album famous.
Here are a few bits of Pristina, the capital of the Republic of Kosovo.
There's a lot of American places, like diners, an University, and American corners like this one in the National Library of Kosovo.

And from the other side.. :)
The Newborn monument is a typographic sculpture and tourist attraction in Pristina, unveiled on 17 February 2008, the day that Kosovo declared independence from Serbia.
On the picture on the big building you can see Adem Jashari, who was one of the founders of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), a Kosovo Albanian irredentist organization which fought for the separation of Kosovo from the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia during the 1990s. He was killed with his family.
And the artist who made it happen, Fisnik Ismaili, the one on the left.. :)
My favourite bar-book store-reading place, called Day and Night - Dit' e Nat'. :) It's the place to go..
Henry Moore in Pristina..The exhibition was great accompanied by the whole cultural Pristina. Well, we met a lot of lovely people and drank all of the wine.
