Kosovo Photo Album

Here is a collection of photos from around Kosovo. Please wait a few moments for the pictures to load...I tried to make them as small but as clear as I could :)

Vetevendosje
2 December 2008 - Against EULEX, UNMIK, and the 6-Point Plan

Approximately 3000 people attended the rally shown here at the former UNMIK Mission HQ downtown.

Grrr...

EULEX - Made in Serbia

Do you think front-center knows why he's there?  I also like the entrepreneurial spirit of the sunflower seed peddler to the left :)  What a better time to sell some seeds than a street demonstration?!

UNMIK SRSG is "persona non-grata" according to Vetevendosje

Creative and expressive sign

Vetevendosje Signs
Calling the population for a protest on 30 June for a referendum - Jun 07

Vetevendosje
Signature Posters and a little spraypaint saying "Free Albin" on the side of the Government Building - April 07

The Vetevendosje HQ
Funnily enough, it is located almost right across from the American Civilian Police International (CPI) HQ in Pejton Place.

Vetevendosje Sign (March 07)
The group is calling for protests demanding the release of Albin Kurti, against Ahtisaari's proposal, and against those that are negotiating for the status (and not allowing a referendum).  "Per Lirine" translates into For Freedom.

Vetevendosje Sign (Feb 07)
The Self-Determination group calls for street protests in Pristina against the Ahtisaari proposal.

Vetevendosje Sign
These signs urge people to boycott Serbian products. This one was found in the local shopping mall across from UN Mission HQ.

Look at how all the windows are broken! All the way up to the 5th floor...impressive shots!


Celebrating Thanksgiving in Kosovo.
"20-23 November.  Thanksgiving days for USA". How come the Albanians get three days and we only get one? That's no fair! I'm writing a letter of complaint to Dubba!

American Football, cheerleaders... is that Michael Jordan or Shaq??? Ah, the traditional symbols of a Thanksgiving afternoon...not to be found in Kosovo!
Lastly a banner was hung across the road near the Grand Hotel in downtown Pristina.
