Pristina is the capital of the Republic of Kosovo, which declared its independence in 2008. There are not many tourist attractions in the city, but young Albanians are very pro-Western and look to the future with hope. However, in the nearby Gracanica there is a beautiful church of the Dormition of the Mother of God from the 15th century, entered on the Unesco World Heritage List. The picturesque temple made an amazing impression on me, although it was not possible to take pictures in naos.
