Kosovo Country Guide

Kosovo is a nation still struggling to be born; at the time of writing it is recognised by less than one third of United Nations member-states (58 out of 192), and is unlikely to join the UN in the near future due to opposition from Russia and China. But while Kosovo is not an obvious travel destination, it can be extremely rewarding for those wanting to experience a country that has been making international headlines for the last 20 years.

Cultural Mix
Cultures and religions have been clashing here for centuries, ever since the joint Serbian and Albanian force was defeated by the Ottomans in the Battle of Kosovo in 1389. But, between times of great unrest, this landlocked country has seen long periods of peaceful coexistence and mutual cultural enrichment. While the predominantly Muslim Albanians dominate the population (making up 88%), and Serbs, mostly Orthodox Christians, coming second, there is a plethora of other little groups displaying unique cultures and ways of life.
