Kosovo's beauty and resources
 |
| NDD Centres' location in Kosovo |
Kosovo’s most recent history is
known for the conflict that erupted in 1998-1999.
The war had a massive impact on the whole region,
much of which is still in evidence today. Most significantly
is the fact that Kosovo since 1999 has been placed
under United Nations administration (UNMiK)
with the purpose of facilitating the stabilization
and democratic development of the entire area.
What people often do not see on
the news, or hear on the radio, is that Kosovo is
a beautiful area of the world, with a fascinating
history, and generous people. Kosovo has long been
well-known throughout the Balkans and the former
Yugoslavia for its beauty, natural resources, and
strong traditions.
Kosovo rich cultural heritage
coincides with the existence of many different ethnic
groups living for centuries together (Kosovo Albanian,
Serb, Bosniak, Turks, Roma, etc.). A reality which
deserves to be preserved in order not to loose the
opportunity to learn from diversity and promote
tolerance. It is this overriding sense of equality
that binds the NDD Centres together.
