Kosovo In Your Pocket

Type Kosovo into Google, and all you get is megabytes of misery - but with the recent declaration of independance (illegal or not), a new air of optimism is wafting through the newly born country.

People have been fighting over Kosovo for millennia, each new wave of conquerors and settlers (from Illyrians, Albanians and Slavs to the United Nations and the EU) leaving their own proud heritage of monuments and history.

After the most recent war, a sense of peace and even hope has finally descended. This former province of Serbia unilaterally declared independence in February 2008, but remains under tight UN and EU administration.

Kosovo is generally a safe place to visit with some attractive towns with great Ottoman-era mosques and hamam complexes, medieval Christian Orthodox churches and monasteries, and beautiful countryside.

In Your Pocket was the first guidebook series to declare Kosovo independent on 17 February 2008, and brings you Pristina In Your Pocket, the first online and print guide to Kosovo's lively capital city. Peja In Your Pocket and Prizren In Your Pocket are our daytrip mini-guides to two other charming Kosovar towns.

Enjoy the new Kosovo.
