Greetings from Kosovo

Kosovo officially gained its independence in 2008, making it the youngest country in Europe with the youngest population in Europe. The Newborn monument in downtown Pristina was created in honor of that moment. Every year on the country’s anniversary, they repaint it in a different style representing that year’s theme. The locals are so incredibly friendly and very welcoming, and they love to talk with outsiders. It’s a fascinating contrast and an insight into the fact that Kosovo is a country still modernizing at its own pace. Kosovo’s terrain is mountainous and lovely, with tons of potential for hiking, people here maintain very strong connections and friendships. You get to see what traditional homes looked like, you can see wedding dresses, traditional jewelry, food and many other fascinating things! A must if you visit Kosovo. #kosovo #history #prishtina #traveler
