The hostel owner said the constant clashes were seriously damaging the tourism industry (We were the only guests in a hostel with a capacity of about 60) despite most of the clashes only really affecting the Serbian areas of the country. It's such a shame as Pristina is a beautiful city which wouldn't look out of place in a country like Belgium. Hopefully it'll calm down again.

Lionator Posted 30 September 2023 Share Posted 30 September 2023 The UN and Western governments have utterly spineless and pathetic over the ethnic cleansing in the Caucasus. I suppose genocide is ok provided that you can supply natural resources. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valuing material wealth more than human life, especially when that human life is beyond line of sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I've been to Prishtina and I thought it was pretty ugly, although with decent food and drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's some nicer suburbs to the south and the centre is ok, plenty of investment in new buildings too. The food in Pristina is amazing, cost about €5 for two kebabs and a beer just outside the main square. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah to be fair I went nearly 8 years ago (in a Prishtina bar I watched us draw 0-0 with Man City in the title winning season). Wasn't my favourite city ever and I went mostly to see the Serbian monasteries nearby. I'm a bit torn on the situation. I generally have a little sympathy for Serbia post 1990. Haven't read much about the current situation to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sampson Posted 2 October 2023 Share Posted 2 October 2023 Still no news on what tonight’s Panorama special will be about. A lot of rumours it will name another comedian caught up in similar allegations to Brand, but interesting to see what it’s about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicsmac Posted 2 October 2023 Share Posted 2 October 2023 There's something darkly funny about Truss's commitment to a course of action that ends at best with hundreds of millions dead, suffering or displaced and at worst with civilisational collapse.

Apparently it's an investigation which reveals that a number of 'reality' TV programmes, including Love Island and Celebrity Big Brother, include some scenes that aren't as spontaneous as they appear but are in fact partially staged for the camera. Massive story and one that will shock the country to its core. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
