The bottom line is that we arrived in Prishtina six hours after leaving Skopje. At Albanian hospitals Serbs have been denied care by ethnic Albanians. The International Herald Tribune reported in its March 25-26 edition that a hospital had been built for a Serb community of Grachanitsa but it was empty because Serbs won't use it because Milosevich has spread the word that they shouldn't. In our building, twenty seconds after the electricity goes off, the generator we have behind the building goes on. For shops without generators, it's candles, karosine lamps, battery powered calculators.
Generators create nearly as many problems as they solve, particularly air and noise pollution.
As you enter the registration desk is on the left. Further back on the right, the long bar is set in a place where the lobby narrows first and then expands. It recedes from the lobby and from any clean air. It has a regular Albanian clientele and expats gather there and chat about their problems. When the sun shines, Spring is in the air.
