Pristina Trivia

May: Solo pilot James Berisha, flying around the world to lobby governments to recognise Kosovo's independence, crash-landed in Sudan last summer, continued to Eritrea by commercial airliner only to be thrown into jail for several months on suspicion of being a US spy. He was released in spring and plans to fix his plane and continue.
April: The Brezovica ski resort in southwest Kosovo is so bogged down in property and political disputes that there are serious plans to build a completely new resort from scratch nearby. The mountain is certainly good enough to make it a major regional resort.
March: Kosovo's airspace is highly restricted; no civilian aircraft are allowed in the NATO-controlled upper area (above 9km), and below it only two narrow air corridors from Pristina airport to Macedonia can be used by passenger planes.
