Balkanology :: Explore Southeast EuropeDisclaimer: These pages are not actively maintained, and some of the practical information on the site is out of date. I am working on a new version of the site that will focus more on my photos and memories of travel in Southeast Europe, and less on practical details that too easily become obsolete. In the meantime, please treat the information here with caution.
Kosovo :: Links
The sites listed on this page are specifically about Kosovo. Many of the more general sites listed in the Overview of the Balkans are also useful for planning a trip to Kosovo. I am aware that some of these links are now out of date while other useful sites have appeared - I plan to overhaul this page at some point in 2015.
