Them from us is a. Game for. Me to find you are all. Citing. The father told. Me to slow. The functional and despite the profound grief our work helped to heal the wounds we turned that pain into willpower. If. These women work around the clock in 2 shifts. They belong to an Agricultural Cooperative in. A village in southern kosovo. Their pickled vegetables are known across the country as is the traumatic past of these women they are all war widows. Once part of yugoslavia and then 20 years ago a theater of war. The manager and founder of the collective. Pops by with her son. He was just 3 months old when his father was killed in 1999 his mother was left with nothing except her 2 Young Children 3 years later she founded an association called the widows of. Which would later become a womens cooperative. It was really difficult convincing people in the village especially the women. The notion of working independently while also being a grieving widow community was unimaginable but i was persistent and managed to bring all the women together. On march 25th and 26th 1999 more than 100 muslim men from croatia were rounded up and shot dead by serbian militias the women and children fled or were driven out these are the graves of those murdered. There are no graves their bodies were never found. It was massacres like this targeting albanian civilians that prompted nato to launch a campaign of airstrikes against serbia. In june 1909 the multinational k. 4 force sent troops into kosovo the soldiers were welcomed as liberators by kosovar albanians. Job was to monitor the withdrawal of Serbian Forces from kosovo which sought independence from yugoslavia. 20 years on k 4 still has staff on the ground its troop numbers now reduced to 3600. Away from the forces headquarters in pristina. Only visibly present in the northern town of me. Which a journalist from explains what ethnic serbs make the case for today.

But the call there to my memories of march 26th 1909 are really difficult but its now been 20 years see to this every year on the date of that crime everyone from the village comes to the cemetery to the graves of their family members. But theres no grave for me and my children to visit so instead we come here to the memorial where the names of the missing are listed dari a nice time a persona. Came hoti has been missing since the massacre for years his wife clung to the vain hope that he had survived. The men who carried out the mass murder were never caught but the atrocity and crew shot did feature in the charges brought against high ranking serbian politicians and military commanders. The u. N. War crimes tribunal in the hague sentence them to lengthy prison terms. My life was a nightmare of i was 30 with no husband and my back up against all the fuss that it was like being on the ground and having to get up on my own and learn to walk again like a toddler i stood alone but in spite of everything that life went on. Her cooperative process is more than 600. 00 tons of vegetables a year. 3 lawn works here alongside 58 women. And they want to expand. Their pickled peppers pepperoni isnt gherkins made according to traditional recipes are sold at markets across the region although 70 percent of their product is export it. Was a woman in my early thirtys when i set up a company with one euro it has since become a large scale enterprise and the only woman in kosovo running a company like this i did it with determination and hard work and with gods help ive managed to stay healthy. The fast growing capital is home to a growing number of cars and a construction boom. At the same time the countrys Unemployment Rate is close to one 3rd of the working population. Its economy is dependent on International Aid organizations as well as cash transfers from cos of ours working abroad. Began the money has made a name for himself in kosovo as a painter photographer and musician. No man is needed here and its been 18 years since our reporter. Last saw began the money when she filmed a report about him hes got the time he had just unrolled at the art academy and christina what i usually do i paint photographs c. E. O.

Hungry for such short ill come back to show. Off what i said is realize because i have become an autism ive been working is all it is strolls i time. But i didnt i was trying to go to live abroad. Once. I met someone my wife. And weve gotten married and i continue living here. Began as a regular visitor to the citys markets where he also observes the mood people might be you see people complaining every day and thats something you know its not only Economic Conditions but also. That you keisha awareness. While at the market he also made some useful finds. Them since i was collecting these books from seventys and sixtys books from me from yugoslavia. I used to look at them was lost and then came the idea to paint. Its actually a van to the funeral ceremony of tito in 1980 but i remember that you say. When you would. Not put it. This is a political motive yes but i dont know. The death of tito led to the disintegration of the multinational country nationalist politicians on various sides called for ethnically pure states resulting in a series of wars and the mass displacement of ethnic groups. In the north of kosovo is a defacto divided city. The southern part of town is home to kosovar albanians. They still see the u. S. As protector the north is majority serb and between the 2 sides italian k for troops. This is the same place 20 years ago in 1999 its solved by the clashes between kosovar albanians and serbs who are blocking the roads to northern. Cape or soldiers deployed tear gas to keep the 2 ethnic groups apart. Today a new bridge across the river connects the ethnic albanian part of nature of it so with the serb north the tensions continue to flare in may cause of our Police Officers launched anti smuggling raids in serbia jordi towns in the north of the country making 20 arrests in response serbian president aleksander votes which put his military on alert for urge both sides to exercise restraint. I dont think that we have moved. Reading much forwards through all the balkans in comparison to ninetys. I see a huge comeback of ninetys again especially for the past 2 years here a civil. In comparison to the political rhetoric from belgrade. And he also says hes the same political leaders. Really they havent changed. We accompany the ana lots are a bitch on a tour of the serbian northern part of me. Without our albanian camera crew who had safety concerns. The journalist has been accused of treason due to her reporting. The serbian president has even called critical Media Outlets spies controlled by the west the ethnic serbs look to russia for support especially vladimir putin. Tatyana lots are a bitch and her team published the online newsletter. Here its funded by the un and has won a range of awards as has its editor. And would. Want to try. To tell the newsletters writers want to provide kosovos serbs with objective information to provide balance against a one sided media propaganda. And at the heart of that serbian propaganda is the side of the battle of kossovo in 1389. 00 in which christian orthodox serbs faced an invading ottoman force. In belgrade a kosovo field is to this day the cradle of serbian identity. The statue celebrates another serbian hero from the battle. Years ago. 6 different kinds of. Production has risen from an initial 1000 to 2000 liters per month. Is happy about that except for problems resulting from Political Tension between kosovo and its neighbor not least attacks on imports from serbia. I saw for the from that school so was the season 100 percent eggs because even though the beginning we imported into base malt from serbia there is a small to really serve no useful reporting base from there. It was cheaper for transportation cost and its cheaper also. Prize after that we saw import also baseball from belgium. High end ales for discriminating tastes and in varying strengths. The bottles are labeled in cyrillic script for the brands predominantly serbian clientele and in english for the small number of albanian customers. Homes from the border are still fresh because they are not close to ship them knowledge that they were trying to skip and hearing more and. More to justify eat as you know john as the famous song come true or just be fans of the people. But to say you know those for me to do crimes have to give a sponsor. And then me i kind of stuff. We leave here along old wheezy peace peace is the only way. Greg johnny monastery for centuries a sacred site for the serbian orthodox church. Its also a unesco world Cultural Heritage site and as such the tracks both tourists and wedding parties. The serbian black seems to be an indispensable element of any wedding here. Whether its serb or albanian descent almost everybody in kosovo marries within their own ethnic group. And that is good news for those who want to see ethnically homogenous communities and territories among them leading politicians in both kosovo and serbia. Have talked openly about land swaps and border adjustments. To concerns about the future. 21st century to any normal person its beyond any kind of logic to think about hate just because you want a long lasting peace even e. V. Believing that even if this will settle down its against any kind of. A democracy or european principle to tell people hey goal leave your homes and go back to the other side. Kosovo and serbia are currently not talking to each other not officially at least. Close to the parliament in pristina is the National Museum which also features weaponry used by the cost of the Liberation Army in the war of independence. But some kalay fighters have a far from heroic or glorious past. Former commanders now hold senior positions in government but some stand accused of being involved in war crimes against ethnic serbs including ramos hari deny who stepped down as Prime Minister in july he has since appeared before a special court in the hague. 11 years after independence kosovo has now been recognized by more than 100 countries although not by serbia russia or china their regional euphoria after the war has dissipated.

The park wants to attract outdoor enthusiasts with hiking trails and accommodation with local people in mountain villages. The broader aim is to make use of the park more. Sustainable. You know we dont want to build more infrastructure but soft or is a truism to use this. To her but also rosa surrounded by the National Parks as actually sort of. So we can use this the people who are living other benefits. Of her income from tourism with her. After arriving at their destination the visitors sabres some regional specialities. Forced. To go into german visitors enjoy some famous shari cheese. This new Mountain Lodge is run by les arts movie as family theyre hoping to see a rise in hikers and other visitors looking to stay the night. But. This is a. Result those who are still so struck. One potential danger remains for hikers in kosovo as in other parts of former yugoslavia landmines visitors are advised to stick to official paved trails and take along an experienced local guide. Hugh. I get a very relaxed feeling here people are very hospitable and i have the impression that theyre delighted to see tourists coming to explore the country.
