Kreme de la Kosovo

Just Your Average Drive in the Country



After we picked up our luggage at our flat in Prishtina we traveled on to Peja, another fairly large town in Kosovo and the last town of any size before we crossed into Montenegro. Much of the area we traveled through was where some of the worst fighting occurred during the war in 1999. Since there are still a fair number of Serbians in this area, KFOR has a heavy presence and I felt perfectly safe traveling in the Klina area where incidents still occur once in awhile. The first photograph is just one vehicle that was in a large convoy of KFOR troops patrolling the area. The other photograph is of a Serbian Orthodox church that was blown up. I'm not sure when this occurred but I think Tom told me that it was in the immediate aftermath of the NATO bombing. And no, NATO did not blow this church up.
