Overview
Lets discover story of recent history of Kosovo, by visiting main historical sites, starting by medieval monuments, Mitrovica city and end the tour at the biggest memorial of 1998-1999 war in Prekaz.
Mitrovica, situated in the North of Kosovo, is the town that was badly affected by the 1999 Kosovo War. Following several ethnic tensions, in 2013, the city is officially divided in Mitrovica South (with Kosovo Albanian Majority) and North (with Kosovo Serbian majority), separated by river Ibri (Ibar), becoming a symbol of Kosovo's ethnic divisions - but yet, an interesting place to visit and see. The city is famous for its mine called Trepça, rich in lead, zinc, silver, gold, crystals etc. , which has historically been one of Kosovo largest industries. It is the only city in Kosovo that has four rivers: Ibri, Sitnica, Lushta and Trepça. Traces of the city dates back to the Neolithic time, as many exhibit archeological exhibit pieces were found in archeological sites.

Ilir hat auf sehr spannende, abwechslungsreiche, authentische und verständliche Art durch die bewegte Geschichte des Kosovo geführt. Er hat auch die aktuellen Geschehnisse eingeordnet und anschaulich erklärt und ist auf Fragen eingegangen. Der Tag ist wie im Flug vergangen. Ich empfehle Ilir und diese Tour sehr, nicht zuletzt auch wegen der einen oder anderen witzigen Anekdote, die wohl in keinem Reiseführer zu finden ist.nigel_w
