Kosovo Travel Information


Kosovo (Albanian: Kosova, Kosovë Serbian: Kosovo, Kosovo i Metohija) is a landlocked territory in southeastern Europe. It borders Albania, Macedonia, Montenegro, and Serbia (which claims the territory as part of its own).

The Republic of Kosovo (Albanian: Republika e Kosovés; Serbian: Republika Kosovo) is a self-declared independent state which has de facto control over most of the territory, and limited control over the northern part of the territory (Albanian: Kosova Veriore; Serbian: Severno Kosovo). The Republic of Kosovo is recognized by some countries, but not recognized by others which recognize the Serbian claim to sovereignty over the entire territory.

As of 2007, the population of Kosovo was estimated as being 1,804,838. Kosovo's capital and largest city is Pristina (Albanian: Prishtiné or Prishtina; Serbian: Priština), which had a population of about 550,000 as 2006.

Product Description:

Kosovo is ringed by high mountains, ravaged by ethnic tensions, yet its renaissance is just a breath away. Rebuilding is all but complete, domestic tensions have eased and with the help of welcoming Kosovars, the country is emerging as one of the most exciting tourist destinations in southeastern Europe. Written by two Kosovo experts, who lived in the newly independent state for many years, Bradt’s Kosovo explores gorges and mountains,  mosques and kullas, and soaks up the café culture with a macchiato or a glass of fiery raki. From hip urban hotspots to remote monasteries, Kosovo offers up many delights to the adventurous traveller who steps off the beaten path. With revised and detailed descriptions of the growing number of restaurants, bars and shops, plus accommodation to suit all budgets, this second edition to a groundbreaking guide is a vital tool for tourists, NGOs and long-term visitors.

Product Description:
This first-person, on-the-road travel adventure takes us through one of the most dangerous and hate-filled regions on earth—the former republics of Yugoslavia—and into a land still reeling from months of brutal combat. Told in a fast-paced, rollicking style that’s funny, sad, thoughtful, and at times horrifying, The Road to Kosovo shows us war and the struggle for peace through the eyes of a young journalist.Two new concluding chapters, written after the author’s 1999 visit to Kosovo, provide a rare, on-the-ground assessment of the impact of the NATO peacekeeping mission and the peace agreement with Milosevic. The poignant scenes of death, confusion, and hopelessness that Campbell observes—not from media tents but from the homes of locals, in their bars, and on the side of the road—hearken ominously back to the first days of the peace mission in Bosnia. A vivid, uneasy picture emerges of a region resistant to lasting peace.
