Countries are small here, it’s just two hours by bus into neighboring Kosovo. Neither country is an EU member (yet) so there is an ID check at the border. People smoke a lot, even the bus driver did, and so did restaurant guests… They need to get that under control asap. But Kosovo uses the Euro and that is incredibly convenient.
Prizren is small and has a beautiful ancient center on the side of a hill. Some of the cobblestoned roads are very narrow and incredibly steep. At the top of the hill is a ruined Roman fortress, but the bastions are mostly intact.
The new town reminded me of Bali, an Indonesian island, in that the sidewalks are often little more than a curbstone, and what little there is is usually blocked by parked cars. Cars drive fast with little regard for pedestrians.
