Discover le Kosovo
Thanks to its small size (the equivalent of two French departments) and its two central plains, it is easy to get around: by car or bus, it takes less than three hours to cross the country. But there are so many things to discover! On the national flag, the map of the small nation is surmounted by six stars representing "the six ethnic groups" of the country. Born out of a recent and inglorious war, Kosovo is the youngest country in Europe, having declared its independence in 2008. Yet the history of this small nation under construction is rich and complex. Notably, it was a Byzantine land that saw the birth of the great Nemanjić dynasty in the Middle Ages, who gave Kosovo its precious Orthodox monasteries. The nature here is also interesting and conducive to hiking: almost uninhabited, the mountains have a very rich biodiversity and important mineral resources.
