  • The Kosovo War Tour: Dealing with the Country's War History As a Tour Operator
    The Kosovo war tour: dealing with the country’s war history as a tour operator Image 1. “Adem Jashari” memorial complex, Prekaz, Kosovo. 31 May, 2018. by Sarah Driessen Driessen s4361954/1 s4361954 August, 2018 ⁕ Preface ⁕ The first time I visited Kosovo was three years ago in 2015. The country caught my interest and I have been going back there every year since. This is why the decision to focus on Kosovo for my research was quickly made. As a tourist, you stand out, because there are not many there. I have seen the beautiful and positive sides of Kosovo but at the same time I have noticed how the country, years after the war, still has a long way to go. With my research, I want to give a helping hand and combine tourism with the development of the country and dealing with the war history. I have written this thesis for my master’s degree in Human Geography: Cultural Geography & Tourism at the Radboud University, Nijmegen. I went to stay in the capital of Kosovo, Pristina, for three months and experienced what it is like to live there instead of just being a tourist. I hope this thesis can be of value to the person reading it. Sarah Driessen Gendt, 7 August, 2018 Driessen s4361954/2 ⁕ Summary ⁕ This research looks at the possibility of offering a war tour in Kosovo as a way to handle the war history of the country as a tour operator. Kosovo has a negative image among Dutch people, which is mostly caused by the country’s war history.

Before its independence, Kosovo is an autonomous province under Serbia, which was part of Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY). Kosovo has a long history of conflicts since the occupation of Turkish Ottoman Empire in Balkan Peninsula area until the recent one was the Kosova War in 1998 – 1999. As a post-conflict society, Prishtina is suffering from several urban challenges. One of these challenges is road safety issue indicated by increasing the number of traffic accidents in Prishtina and even nationwide. National government considered this situation as unusual for European countries. This study aimed to answer a research question on how the road safety is perceived from two main perspectives, which are road users (pedestrians and cyclists) and stakeholders in the producer’s level of road safety strategy in Prishtina. This study was conducted in urban zone of Prishtina, which is also the case study, with the regards to the increasing number of traffic accidents, which involve pedestrians and cyclists, as the vulnerable road users.

  • The History of Jihad: from Muhammad to ISIS
    ADVANCE PRAISE FOR THE HISTORY OF JIHAD “Robert Spencer is one of my heroes. He has once again produced an invaluable and much-needed book. Want to read the truth about Islam? Read this book. It depicts the terrible fate of the hundreds of millions of men, women and children who, from the seventh century until today, were massacred or enslaved by Islam. It is a fate that awaits us all if we are not vigilant.” —Geert Wilders, member of Parliament in the Netherlands and leader of the Dutch Party for Freedom (PVV) “From the first Arab-Islamic empire of the mid-seventh century to the fall of the Ottoman Empire, the story of Islam has been the story of the rise and fall of universal empires and, no less importantly, of never quiescent imperialist dreams. In this tour de force, Robert Spencer narrates the transformation of the concept of jihad, ‘exertion in the path of Allah,’ from a rallying cry for the prophet Muhammad’s followers into a supreme religious duty and the primary vehicle for the expansion of Islam throughout the ages. A must-read for anyone seeking to understand the roots of the Manichean struggle between East and West and the nature of the threat confronted by the West today.” —Efraim Karsh, author of Islamic Imperialism: A History “Spencer argues, in brief, ‘There has always been, with virtually no interruption, jihad.’ Painstakingly, he documents in this important study how aggressive war on behalf of Islam has, for fourteen centuries and still now, befouled Muslim life. He hopes his study will awaken potential victims of jihad, but will they—will we—listen to his warning? Much hangs in the balance.” —Daniel Pipes, president, Middle East forum and author of Slave Soldiers and Islam: The Genesis of a Military System “Robert Spencer, one of our foremost analysts of Islamic jihad, has now written a historical survey of the doctrine and practice of Islamic sanctified violence.

  • ''Yeni Bir Dil Konuşmak, Yeni Bir Dünyanın Ve Kültürün Kapılarını Açmaktır.'' Frantz Fanon PRİŞTİNE GEZİ
    ‘’Yeni bir dil konuşmak, yeni bir dünyanın ve kültürün kapılarını açmaktır.’’ Frantz Fanon PRİŞTİNE GEZİ REHBERİ; Kosova’nın başkenti olan Priştine’ye seyahat etmeden önce okuduğum blogların ve diğer seyahat yazılarının birçoğunda gezmeye değer bir şehir olmadığı, vakit kaybı olduğu ve gereksiz masraf olacağı yazılıydı ancak ben hiçbir şehrin bu denli göz ardı edilmemesi gerektiğine inandığım için Balkanlar turumun rotasına Priştine’yi de dahil ettim. İyi ki de etmişim zira Priştine beni gayet memnun uğurladı. Tamam, diğer adı duyulmuş Balkan şehirleri kadar gezip görülecek pek fazla alternatif sunmuyor ama yine de en az iki gün boyunca sıkılmadan vakit geçirebileceğiniz kadar da verimli bir şehir. Kosova’nın incisi aslında Prizren, hatta Balkanlar turu için listenin üst sıralarında olması gereken bir şehir. Prizren ve Priştine’yi, İstanbul ve Ankara gibi düşünebilirsiniz. Asıl gezilecek yer Prizren ama Priştine’ye de sırf klasik başkent havası var diye haksızlık etmeyelim, gidelim, gezelim. ULAŞIM: Priştine, benim Balkanlar turumun son durağıydı. Rotamı ona göre şekillendirmiştim, ya Saraybosna’dan başlayıp Priştine’den dönecektim, ya da tam tersini yapacaktım. Bilet fiyatlarını kontrol ettiğimde Priştine’den dönüşün çok daha ucuz olduğunu gördüğüm için bu şekilde planladım. Pegasus yılın birçok dönemi Balkanlar için uygun fiyatları bilet satışı yapıyor, eskiden kurlar bu kadar uçuk olmadığı için çok daha ucuzdu ama yine de Avrupa ülkelerinin biletlerine kıyasla daha uygun denilebilir. Ara sıra bilet fiyatlarına bakıyorum, Priştine için tek yön ortalama 350-400 Lira dolaylarında. Zaten Balkan ülkeleri için en iyi alternatifiniz de Pegasus Havayolları. Diğer Balkan şehirlere göre Priştine’nin biletleri daha uygun, bu yüzden siz de benim gibi Priştine’den başlamayı veya Priştine’den dönmeyi düşünebilirsiniz.

  • Issue 19 – Kosovo – November 12, 2010
    Issue 19 – Kosovo – November 12, 2010 Kosovo—is it a country? Seventy-one countries1 around the world say yes, but most of our Serbian friends would emphatically say no, and it would not take long for you to realize how emotionally charged this subject is. This is not the same as kidding your Southern relatives over the outcome of the US Civil War. The events are too recent; the experiences firsthand—not something read from a textbook. To diffuse the situation, it might be best to steer the conversation in a different direction. Map: This map shows Kosovo as a separate state.2 For us, Kosovo appears initially of little interest. There’s no stock exchange yet; it’s a small landlocked country—slightly smaller than Connecticut—with a population of only 2 million; and it’s one of the poorest countries in Europe on a per capita basis. We examine it here because of an opportunistic experience that Frontaura associate Eric Dahl had in September and October. Eric spent three weeks in Kosovo as part of the Kosovo-America Emerging Leaders Program that the US State Department sponsored. He was one of 13 individuals to participate in this business exchange 1Currently, 71 countries recognize Kosovo, including the US, Canada, and most of Western Europe. Notable countries that do not recognize Kosovo include China, Russia, and Serbia. Five EU member states—Cyprus, Greece, Romania, Slovakia, and Spain—also do not recognize Kosovo; some because of they do not want to create a precedent given separatist movements within their own countries.
