Kosovo - Pristina and Prizren - development money at its best

I wasn't sure what to expect from going to Kosovo and I still do t know what to think of it. 

Clearly after the war in the 90s, things have changed. The American prescence is obvious and while Kosovo is now in it's majority a Muslim country, it's probably one of the most pro American Muslim countries in the world.

While most Serbians have been pushed outside of Kosovo and only Catholics can have a miniscule prescence as the Orthodox church isn't allowed anymore and without entering into a debate of what happened or not as some call it the successful ethnical cleansing of everyone not Muslim there. But the reality is that at least at first glance there's tolerance. 

Some people I spoke believe that Kosovo, Albania and parts of Macedonia should be together but for the sake of peace I hope no such nonsense of more conflicts starts getting traction. 

The moment you cross the border, you get 4 lane highways, newly built bridges on the roads, it's infrastructure clearly being pumped big $$$$$

Pristina as the capital of Kosovo has very little in terms of attractions unless you are a Bill Clinton fan and you can take a photo with his statue. (I couldn't care less)

There's an abandoned Arabian Orthodox church which will never be finished as Orthodox church isn't allowed in Kosovo.  The still under construction massive Catholic church which is also in honor of mother Theresa seems a bit huge for the tiny population of Catholics still in the country but as a homage to Mother Theresa is not a bad thing. 

The little statue about reading I simply liked. 

But I think the most famous building here is the one the locals call the Ugliest building in the world which is the National library. The wires around it are supposed to mean the occupation and hard times the country has gone through but all I can say is the architect deserves a prize!!

Then I went to Prizren which back in the Ottomans time used to be the capital and now is a cute little town with a few mosques, cobblestones street, cafes and simply a pretty little town. 

There's a lot of history about Kosovo and all the Balkans region but not sure I'm terms of visiting just for history purposes. 

Prizren is a beautiful quiet little town but that's about it.
