Fortunate for me, the Kosovo judges held an anti-corruption seminar in Prizren, a city about 80 km southwest of Pristina. I had been hoping for a chance to visit since when I first attempted to buy postcards in Pristina, the only ones I found showed scenes of the town of Prizren and they were beautiful - lots of Ottoman architecture, a pretty river, mountains. The reality did not disappoint.
The bridge is from the 15th century and the mosque from the 16th century.
The Orthodox churches/monasteries, which had been torched in 2004, are being rebuilt, and as with many historic Serb monasteries in Kosovo, are under
NATO protection, in this case, the Germans guard them.
You can see the largest Orthodox monastery in Prizren behind the mosque on the hillside.
