kosovo is just north of albania and south of serbia.  it used to be part of the old yugoslavia.  when communism proved to be a real bad idea and yugoslavia was broken up, kosovo remained a semi-autonomous part of serbia, whereas croatia and bosnia-herzegovninia broke off from serbia and the bosnian war started.\n\nduring the bosnian war, kosovo was pretty quiet, more or less.  after the dayton accords were signed and peacekeepers came in to try to quell violence, kosovo heated up.  the people of kosovo are ethnic albanians.  they dont like the serbs.  kosovars are muslim.  serbs are orthodox Christian (i think that's the title).  so, big disagreements there.  kosovo decided it wanted independence from serbia after the bosnian war and there started an insurrection against serbian troops operating in kosovo.\n\nsoon the violence grew to an untenable level.  the kosovars wanted some recognition from the international community and finally madaleine albright (us sec of state at the time) decided she would come to the rescue.  after a really phoney attempt at talking through the problem at a conference in rambuillouiex - or some damn french city - the serbians weren't backing down from the US demands for kosovo independence or whatever so albright decided to start bombing serbian troops.  this went on for a few weeks and there was no way in hell CLinton was going to allow ground troops in.  he even came out and said that when the conflict started - which i thought was stupid.  pretty soon, though, slobodan milosevic, the pres of serbia said to hell with it all and pulled his troops out of kosovo.\n\nnow kosovo is just as F'd up as ever (they are a real backwater people in SE Europe; lots of ancient gypsies, etc.) and milosevic is dead and clinton/albright are out of office.\n\ni believe we still have a small contingent of troops in kosovo, although we are out of bosnia now.

Bosnia and Herzegovina (also written Bosnia-Hercegovina) is a mountainous country in the western Balkans. Its capital is Sarajevo and it was formerly one of the six federal units constituting Yugoslavia. The republic gained its independence in the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s and due to the Dayton Accords, it is currently a protectorate of the international community, administered by a High Representative selected by the European Parliament. It is also decentralized and administratively divided into two entities, the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republika Srpska. Bosnia and Herzegovina themselves are historical-geographic regions which today have no political status.

There are some political conflicts between the two countries and there were some conflicts in the history but poeople these days are just fine. One can always find someone to hate some other person or people, but in the level of individual people we get along just fine. As a Turk, we do not care much about them couse we believe that we are superior so we do not care much about any one who dislikes or hates us.

I can only give you information about Ukraine.\n\nreligion- Orthodox Roman Catholic\n\nculture- There are two parts. The first part is the people who live in the cities. They live just like most people in USA. They do tend to take the train and bus more rather than own a car. (gas is very expensive) The other part is the people who live out in the country side. They live a more simplier life. Some of the older people have never left their town. They raise their own chickens, grow their own vegetables, heat their own water for a shower, and they have outhouses. You are cosidered very well off if you have wall paper in your house and you are doing extremely good if you have a telephone. \n\nlanguage- Eastern Ukraine: Russian    Western Ukraine: Ukrainian \n\neducation- Students start school at around the age of 6, they are taught English at a very young age. \n\nTry the CIA world fact book for more information.

As a fellow Croatian, I can tell you the reaction always depends on where the person who is hearing it comes from.  Many of the comments I get are:\n\n1.) "I've been there before, beautiful country and beaches"\n\n2.) Dubrovnik (generally older people who have been on cruises mention it to me, but if anyone has been to the Croatian coast, they always mention it and Split)\n\n3.) Kukoč (Toni) (guys reply with this one mostly)\n\n4.) Goran Ivanišević (especially from people in India, they love him there)\n\n5.) Where is it? (I get this mostly from Americans.  It's for people like the lady with the post above that I answer with "it's to the right of the BIG boot in Europe" - if they don't know where Europe is—and sometimes they don’t-- I give up)\n\n6.) Yugoslavia/the War\n\n7.) Goran V? the cute Dr. Kovac from ER (his last name is Višnjić, and I get this reply from women, obviously)\n\n8.) 1998 World Cup, Davor Šuker and soccer in general (Croatia finished 3rd - guys in general comment on this, particularly Mexicans)\n\n9.) "Isn't that like the hottest vacation spot now?" (again, I get this from many people -- seems like all the travel shows, journals and books are re-discovering Croatia)\n\n10.) I have a Croatian friend . . . or my neighbor/co-worker, ect. is Croatian . . . (I get this a lot from everybody. I guess we are such a rare breed, that when people hear you are "Croatian" they remember)\n \nHonorable mentions:\nPlitvice Lakes National Park (if someone I meet finds out I am Croatia and has been to Plitvice or seen "The Land of the Falling Lakes" on PBS, they always mention how unforgettable it was or how beautiful it seems)\n\nCroatian Bet Mafia (my German friends teased me about this quite a bit because of the scandal last year)

Well, I'm sure that those pyramids really exist. There are many argumenst and facts which support tesis of Sam Osmanagic about existing huge and accient pyramids in Bosnia.\nThey researching the hills using the hightech methodology, as linear and termal inercing satelite photos which show us that the the hills are not natural.\nThe are 5 pyramids at the valley called as "Valley of bosnian pyramids" and all of them have correctly orientated geometrycal sides at East, west south and north. Three main pyramids making completly correct trinangle. And nature can't to that,\nThere are also many underground ways under the pyramids. Radar analysis shows  that. During exavcations found the block, huge blocks of pyramids in all four sides of every pyramids.\nMany archeologists do not accept Sam Osmanagic's theory, but, no one of them did't came here to see that.\nAly Barakt - egiptian geologist, who all his life working on reseraching and discovering the pyramids also said that he is sure that Bosnia has many pyramids. Momentaly, he and many other archeologists, geologists working on the excavations the bosnian pyramids, inclouding one of the most known egiptian archeologist dr. Lamiya....

Yes I think so. \nthey suffered so much death from the serbs.\nIts not a large area and most are Albanians so I don't see what the hold up is.\nMaybe Kosovo is very rich in resources.\nIts always hard to claim rich land.
