Priština (Приштина)

Friendly, if homely capital of the self-proclaimed Republic of Kosovo, still a seemingly ongoing construction project with few tangible traces of its past.

Also included on this page is the Serbian Orthodox Monastery at nearby Gračanica (Грачаница)

The Albanians is living a lie while the are told a lot of propaganda. They are killing the Serbs while NATO and the UN are only watching. The world is silent to the hate crimes against the Serbs and others in Kosovo. The Albanians must stop this act of inhumanity and ethnic cleansing. Kosovo should never be independant as long as they treat other people like that. Even if the Albanians were ill treated before be the better man now and stop killing innocent people (Serbs, Romas, Croats, Gorani, etc).

Aleksandar-Why you didn't mentioned what has happened that made this change? It would be fair if you explained that those 40.000 Serbs expelled those 150.000 Albanians from their homes, than the world intervened and when you failed in your attempts you had to leave together with your military, paramilitary and police forces. You got what you asked for! End of story!

In 1999. in Pristina lived 150 000 Albanians and 40 000 Serbs. Today there are 600 000 Albanians and 44 Serbs. Is it fair :(? In Serbia :(
