In February of 1999 I arrived in Prizren to work with the OSCE (Organisation for the Security and Cooperation in Europe). Soon after arriving there we were evacuated to the southern part of Macedonja. Then on April 1 I was sent to Tirana Albania to help monitor the Humanitarian aid for the refugees. In mid July 0f 1999 I return to Kosova to work in the Regional Center there. I will try to add more pictures later.

My home in Kosova. Prizren, it is more beautiful than the picture shows it to be.

Prizren, I was told, was a trading center of this area for centuries. It is still a very commercialized section of the Province of Kosova. Prizren is locted in the south east part of the province close to Kukes, Albania and Tetovo, Macedonja.

My adopted little brother in Prizren. Still working for OSCE.

Edit worked for OSCE before having to leave the country during the refugee crisis. He was left behind to fend for himself but arrived in Tirana Albania soon after we were evacuated. Edit returned to Prizren after finishing his work in Tirana with OSCE. He was later hired to work in the Prizren Regional Center as the Transportation and Supply Clerk. Edit now holds the Supply Officer's position.

These two kids keep thier daddy busy. It is a tough life in Kosova but they still find a lot to smile about.

No, this is not all Edit does with OSCE. But every now and then he takes a break to pose for the ladies.

Later I will add some links to other web sites of interest of Kosova.
