History in the Making
In case you did not already have the urge to spend your holidays in Kosovo, the Department of Tourism of the Ministry of Trade and Industry launched a nice website. Better than "Discover Wild Beauty" or "The Mediterrenean as it once was", the slogan is "History in the Making"... Not that wrong, but usually tourists are just not very enthusiastic to witness history in the making. Other suggestion might be "Where status really matters" or "Travel to Kosovo: Standards and Status" or "When you want to leave your holidays from a different country you go to: Kosovo"

I'm guessing they paid good money for it.
"Bread, salt and heart." That's Kosova to me.
well, I really would like to go there anyway...
Sorry, history just after the making was quite enough for me thank you...
nothing against Kosovo..I realize they gotta make a buck..
I agree with katja.
And while I wish Kosovo the best; I don't think the website campaign is going to do much for them.
It's been over ten years since the war in BiH, and western tourists are just starting to come back (come for the first time).
Kosovo is even more "unknown" to most westerners; and not to mention, in a much more precarious position that Bosnia is.

I know nothing about architecture, but the structure of the building actually looks similar to an old fashion midwestern protestant church.
Shaina, you are right, it looks like a bunch of Lutherans somehow made it to Kosovo! :) The red tiles and the graffitti are the only things that would show that this church is someplace in the Balkans!
Actually, Protestantism has Balkans origins,the Dobri Kristijani predated Martin Luther by centuries!

It's no architecture, just the cheapest way to convert an ordinary house into a church with a bell tower.
