Kosovo Fun Facts


The main street of the Kosovar capital, Pristina, is called "Bill Clinton Boulevard." His autobiography is also the best-selling book in the country (yes, country). His image is already on half the buildings in Pristina. Bill Clinton is the new Turkmenbashi?

Forget Barnard, I'm Moving To Bosnia: Sarajevo Edition

It has come to my attention that Sarajevo is number 43 on Lonely Planet's list of the greatest cities on Earth. Not bad for a recent warzone (longest siege in modern military history, 1992-1996)!




"...and then WWI started. All Serbia's fault!" Oh Bosnia...not like they're bitter or anything.






Kalmykia is no longer the singular earthly home of oversized chess pieces!



Is this proof that I feel worse for Bosnia than I do for Serbia?
