KOSOVO THE YOUNGEST COUNTRY IN EUROPE

The Republic of Kosovo is a Balkan country in Southeastern Europe, and its capital is Pristina (Prishtina). It shares its borders with four countries; Serbia, North Macedonia, Montenegro, and Albania. Kosovo is the smallest country in the Balkans and also the second poorest country in Europe. However, it is one of, if not the cheapest, of all European countries. Its population comprises 93% Muslim ethnic Albanians, 6% Eastern Orthodox Serbians, and 1% Bosniaks, Gorans, Turks, and Roma.

It is a low-keyed, off-the-beaten-track tourist destination, and a golden find for the adventurous and budget traveller.
