  • 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.

  • ''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.

    MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT AND SPATIAL PLANNING KOSOVO ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY KOSOVO INSTITUTE FOR NATURE PROTECTION STATE OF NATURE REPORT 2010 - 2014 131 MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT AND SPATIAL PLANNING KOSOVO ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY KOSOVO INSTITUTE FOR NATURE PROTECTION STATE OF NATURE REPORT 2010 - 2014 Prishtinë, 2015 2 D ear Readers, Natural heritage of a country is one of the most important assets of it. National Parks, forest ecosystems, nature monuments and water resources, despite they are habitats for many rare species of plants and animals they cover on themselves many phenomena and rare interesting geological, morphological, hydrological and landscape characteristics which are also important sources for economic development, social welfare, education and recreation. However, uncontrolled and unplanned using of these values and natural resources can bring unrecoverable damages which will consequently have both, extinction of rare plants and animals and damage the rare natural phenomena. Considering this fact, Kosovo’s institutions have put in their priorities the protection and conservation of rare natural heritages. Today, Kosovo has about 11% of its territory protected by law, under which are included the protected areas of different categories such as national parks, nature reserves, nature parks, protected monuments and other natural areas of special importance. Also, with the aim of ensuring efficient management and sustainable development of these values except the respective legislation in the field of nature protection and biodiversity are drafted strategies, action plans, spatial plans and programs even for nature of Kosovo in general or for certain areas in particular. In order to promote the natural heritage values of Kosovo and awareness of the general public about their importance, they become part not only for national projects and initiatives but also for regional and international projects.
