Kosovo - a country full of wonderful people, rich history and beautiful sights. This summer, I had the privilege to intern for the government of Kosovo at the Investment Promotion Agency of Kosovo (IPAK). As part of my internship, I worked with the tourism department to take pictures of some of the beautiful sights of Kosovo. Below are some of my favorite images from my time in Kosovo!
 |
| Bill Clinton: During the war in Kosovo in 1999, U.S. president, Bill Clinton led the charge to press Congress to authorize NATO to help Kosovo. The arrival of NATO troops led to a victory for Kosovo and in honor of their gratitude, Kosovar citizens have erected a statue of Bill Clinton in their capital city of Pristina. |
 |
| Filigran crown: Filigran art is made by weaving thin silver and gold threads into jewelry and other creations. The filigran craftsmen in Kosovo are exceptional in their craft and have been producing this form of art for centuries. This crown was made by filigran artists in Prizren, a Turkish town of Kosovo. |

| The Mother Teresa Boulevard: The Mother Teresa Boulevard possesses the heartbeat of the city of Pristina. A popular place to meet friends for a coffee while enjoying the rush of the city, this boulevard is always full of liveliness and vitality. |
 |
| Mother Teresa Cathedral: The beautiful cathedral of Mother Teresa was erected in 2007 in the capital city of Pristina. The cathedral opened its doors exactly 13 years after the death of Mother Teresa, an ethnically Albanian nun who used her life to be a selfless servant to others. |

| The Prizren Fountain: This water fountain in Prizren, known as the Shadervan in Albanian, is part of the popular tourist spot located on the south side of the town of Prizren. Legend has it that if you take a drink from the cool waters of the fountain, you will be guaranteed a visit back to Prizren in the future. |

Known for retaining the culture of the Ottoman Empire, Prizren has a unique Turkish feel that draws many tourists and Kosovars to this historical city. |
