Letnica MEDCAP: Take 3
|
 Letnica has an old catholic church located there that's called the Church of the Black Madonna. It's world famous, as Mother Theresa started her nunnary there. I had the opportunity to go inside of it, but missed my chance due to circumstances that I can't describe here.Ok, that likely perked up some people's curiosity.  Anyway, the streets were pretty narrow, we had to park at the base of the hill and walk to the school on narrow streets, following the HMMW-Vs which were moving very carefully around. On the way back down, a couple horses ran one of the Colonols off the road. I don't think the rider meant to do it, the horses proved to be rather finicky. But I got some good pictures regardless. Whenever we have MEDCAPS, generally the Kosovar Police Force (they're correct name escapes me at present) comes along because if Kosovo gains its independence, they will likely become the military force and they are trying to build relations with its people. Kosovo is a province of Serbia, however due to the fact that most of Kosovo is Albanian and Albanians and Serbs don't always get along. Anyway, Kosovo is an international Protecterate until they can decide whether to give it independence, give it back to Serbia, or just keep it in the same state as it has been. Regardless, none of the answers will please everybody.  Anyway, this is one of the Kosovar Military guys in his uniform. I asked if I could get a picture with him, he was more then happy to oblige. I'm taking far to long to get this all posted. . .
