Can't stand this place
Virtually every friend I talk to wants to leave Kosovo. This situation is in striking contrast to the after-war days when everything was razed to the ground yet about 10,000 people returned from the United States foolishly giving up on their papers. Now so many are trying the Rio Grande way I hear stories of US border guards beginning to learn Albanian.
Express writes on Sunday's issue that there are about 2,000 Kosovars just from Ferizaj (where US Camp Bondsteel is) working in Afghanistan and Iraq. This level of desperateness is shocking even to me.
If there is any chance that pure will can change a place for the better, Kosovars have proven it doesn't work.
Neretva River has more about the KBR recruiting going on in the Balkans.

Dude, hang in there. Post-war Europe required almost 15 years before their economies provided the levels of employment and development necessary to create modern states. They were still rationing bread coal in England and France for years after WWII.
The situation in Kosovo is terribly difficult. Nobody disputes that. "Pure will" won't change the situation on the ground, but things will change.
Don't lose hope...just chose carefully what you put your hope in.
I won't lose hope - failure is not an option. But it's been years. And then more years after that.
Hey all,
I would like to point out that there is a huge economic potential in recycling and garbage collection.
Also software testing would be something that could be outsourced there.
If you have any people who want to work with me on this, tell them to sign up!
