Happy Birthday Kosova, 2010






Today is the second anniversary of the Independence of Kosova. There are flags everywhere, Albanian, Kosovar, American and British...on cars, being worn as capes, and hanging from all the buildings. The people of Kosova are very proud of their heritage. Later on tonight there will be huge fireworks displays, lots of firecrackers and celebratory gun fire. I received a warning from the US Embassy regarding the dangers of celebratory gun fire. I am not able to tell the difference between the firecrackers and the gun fire. The streets of Malishevë are packed with people...just out walking the streets and being a part of the celebration.
