Pristina .... Unfinished Serb Orthodox Church and Kosovo National Library
Right across the street from my apartment in Pristina is the Kosovo National Library. It was rated as one of the world's ugliest buildings. It was built in the early 1980s.
I found it rather unique and pleasing to look at. It's right next to a very sad site too. The unfinished Serbian Orthodox Church that was left to decay after the 1999 conflict.
? Is This The Ugliest Building on Planet National Library of Kosovo in Pristina?

KOSOVO: PRISTINA LIBRARY RANSACKED
English/Nat
As thousands of refugees return to Kosovo, its not just their homes they are finding in ruins.
The former director of the National and University Library of Kosovo, has returned to find the building deserted - its shelves largely empty.
Serbian forces used the library as their headquarters during the war.
The National and University library of Kosovo is housed here, in one of the most modern buildings in Pristina.
The 55 year old institution used to be the most important library in Kosovo.
But in 1990, the fate of the library changed.
All the ethnic Albanian staff were dismissed when the Belgrade government imposed emergency measures in the province.
Among them was the library's former director, Mehmed Geguri.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
It was one of the eight national libraries in the former Yugoslavia, it was a national library, a university library, it was the central library of all sites in Kosovo
SUPER CAPTION: Mehmed Geguri, Former Director, Kosovo National and University Library
With the war over, life is starting to return to normal for many Kosovans.
Geguri is back but the books have gone, and the building is a mess.
During the NATO air campaign the library was used by the Yugoslav military as a headquarters.
Geguri says when the soldiers left, they took the books with them.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
They took out of the library more than 100,000 books and as many periodicals
SUPER CAPTION: Mehmed Geguri, Former Director, Kosovo National and University Library
The few remaining volumes have been left strewn over the floor and the library's entire database of membership files has been destroyed.
Mr Geguri calls it another example of cultural genocide.

“Let’s go” has pretty much been our life’s motto since we met nearly 25 years ago. We met in New York, moved to San Diego together, and married in Lake Tahoe – all within five months. When you know, you know – you know what we mean?
Now, after raising two adventure-seeking boys, we are ready to get out and explore some more. Our children have begun their lives and now it’s time to begin the second-half of ours.
We wanted a challenge and something fun, so we are starting an adventure of a lifetime. We’re calling it #60×60. Our plan is to travel to 60 countries by the time Kim turns 60 (that’s in 6 years by the way).

Top best places to visit in Pristina, Kosovo
Pristina is the capital and largest city of Kosovo.
Prishtina is the economic, administrative and cultural center of the country. It is called the “City of Coffee Bars” for many outdoor cafes found almost everywhere.
The Skanderbeg Square is the central plaza of town named after Albanian national hero whose statue can be found there. It is at the end of the Mother Therese Boulevard, the main pedestrian street, and next to the National Theater.
Nearby, housed in an Austria-Hungarian style building, the National Museum has a rich collection of prehistoric objects.
Tucked back in the old town streets, composed of a traditional guest house, an arts studio and a family home, is the Ethnological Museum.
Between these museums are situated two significant mosques:
The Jashar Pasha Mosque.
And the biggest and most important city mosque, the Sultan Fatih Mosque.
Opposite the Fatih Mosque is one of the best landmarks of old town, served as a means of informing the city, the Clock Tower.
In the neighborhood is another religious site, the St Nicholas Church, the only remaining operative Serbian Orthodox Church in Prishtina.
At the end of the Mother Therese Boulevard there is one more big city square, named after the Hero of Kosovo, Zahir Pajaziti.
Close to this square is the Newborn Monument, a memorial unveiled on the independence day.
And behind it is the Palace of Youth and Sports, a multipurpose arena located next to the City Stadium.
A strangely beautiful building of the National Library is even more interesting in construction, built in the campus of the University of Prishtina.
Beside the campus is the Mother Teresa Cathedral, a Roman Catholic Church currently under construction.
10km outside Pristina is the Gračanica Monastery, a crucial religious center, placed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List.
1 hour drive from the capital is the Visoki Dečani Monastery, a major Serbian Orthodox Church also protected by UNESCO.
In Pristina it’s also worth to visit the biggest green area in a center, the City Park.
And the Park of Martyrs, a cemetery with a panoramic view of the city.

Pristina/ Pristine (Kosovo) - Versión extendida / Extended Version
???????? Prístina (English bellow⬇️): la capital de Kosovo es un hervidero de gente y vitalidad. Pensaba que encontraría un lugar tranquilo y relajado, pero es todo lo contrario. Hay muchas cosas que ver: la Biblioteca Nacional (con un estilo arquitectónico imitando los baños árabes), la inacabada Iglesia de Cristo Salvador; el Monumento Newborn (que cambia su pintura de vez en cuando), el Palacio de Juventud y Deportes; la hermosa Mezquita Fatih y Catedral de la Santa Madre Teresa de Calcuta. George Bush tiene dedicada una avenida, y Bill Clinton, además, su propio monumento (y su esposa Hillary, una tienda de ropa). También es recomendable visitar el museo de Kosovo para conocer su arqueología y su historia bélica. .

???????? Pristine: the capital of Kosovo is full of people and vitality. I thought I would find a quiet and relaxed place, but it’s just the opposite. There are many things to see: the National Library (with an architectural style imitating the Arab baths), the unfinished Church of Christ the Savior; the Newborn Monument (which changes its painting from time to time), the Palace of Youth and Sports; the beautiful Fatih Mosque and Cathedral of the Holy Mother Teresa of Calcutta. George Bush has dedicated an avenue, and Bill Clinton, in addition, his own monument (and his wife Hillary, a clothing store). It’s also interesting to visit the Kosovo museum to learn about archeology and war history.

Welcome to Kosovo (Pristina is CRAZY) ????????
I travelled to Pristina (Kosovo), the youngest capital of Europe, to catch some good vibes.
Kosovo people are crazy and very welcoming. Prishtina is a really cool city. I searched the news on Kosovo; from what I experienced, it’s nothing like a war-zone. However, do your own research.
But I can recommend you to travel in Pristina. I was lucky enough to get tickets for the football Euro Qualifiers 2020 game - Kosovo vs Czech Republic, which Kosovo won 2-1. Their Football Fans are crazy.
The main sights I visited are:
Newborn Monument, Nene Tereza Boulevard, Rruga B (Street Art Walls), Pristina Football Stadium, National Library (considered as one of the ugliest buildings in the world) & Cathedral of St. Mother Teresa.
Kosovo is also known for making the best Latte Macchiato. If you look for a coffeeshop, try Dit’ e Nat’ and Soma Book Station.
ps: This is not a political video. I explored Pristina as a tourist and had a good experience.
In Kosovo, they are not so used to tourists yet. Tourist mainly come from Germany and Switzerland (I’m Swiss of Chinese origin).
► Subscribe, as I will go on a longer trip to visit exotic countries, starting in November 2019.
