Pictures of the City

Today is voting Day!!!!! I found that out while getting my hair cut, the results will be announced on Monday, which is when I thought the voting took place. It will also explain the large number of News, Military, Police, UN, EU, and OSCE vehicles around Prishtina today, I guess there was a small uprising near the Serbian border. Oh well here are some pictures of the city and of a Byrek (Bur-eck). -Ted

Serbian Church
The Serbs started building this Church, from what I'm told for no other reason than to anger the Muslim majority of Kosovo. It was never finished and never will be.

University of Kosovo
This building when I first saw I thought was absolutely ugly!!!!! But now that I've seen it a few times it's pretty cool looking.

Downtown again
The weird looking building in the background is the convention center/arena

Old Communist Apartment Houses
There are buildings like this all over, they are the old Communist Housing Projects.......I wouldn't recommend using the elevator. Most of these do not have back up Generators.

Bill Clinton Blvd
Looking up Bill Clinton Blvd.

50 Cent
50 cent is performing here December 17th.

Really neat looking house
I saw this building and thought it was really nice looking. Then as I got close to it, I realized it is Croatia's Liason Office.

Disappointing
This picture is the thing that I dislike the most about Kosovo. It is hard to see but on the hill side in front of the buildings that mound is all thrash.

The last one
This building is the last large one that has not been restored from the damage of the war. I am told some people here want it to stay just like it is.

Mother Theresa
This used to be one of the busiest roads in Downtown, They recently turned it into a mall for pedestrians.

The mosques
The 4 main mosques in Prishtina are all a very short distance away, I haven't found a spot where I can get all 4 towers into a picture yet.

Byrek and Yogurt
This is a real traditional lunch here, it is a Byrek w/Yogurt, the yogurt here is more liquidy almost heavy cream consistency. The Byrek is a dough similar to Phyllo Dough that is stuffed with pretty much anything and baked.

Sidewalk Hazards
This is one of many things that are on the "sidewalk", I have seen cars parked on this, but I will not walk on it!!!!!
