Thanks a lot for watching and safe journeys!
Nice walk, great to see a place where people still walk arm in arm or holding hands together on the streets.Best girlfriends, old ladies hand in hand with youngsters , a closeness or genuine bond you don't see much in the west without ignorant people questioning or presuming their gender preference or identity.
That’s life in the Balkans! Especially in Kosovo/Albania
Really good observation. As a westerner living in Kosovo for a few years now, this is a breath of fresh air every day which sets Albanian culture apart, and increases the resiliency of its population when faced with recent challenges.
when you are in together with an albanian girl or guy, u gonna be part of the daily family life, you will need to be close to the family, help them.

Hi Gabriel, Another Skanderbeg statue in a square this guy is a badass to use the vernacular just an incredible presence. I'm sure films have done in the native language I would like to see something in an English version of this impressive personal. I want to thank you for taking this trip to this country and Albania I had a different perception of these places of course you would have Mother Teresa who is from this part of the world instrumental in creating a new order The Missionaries of Charity and I do believe the church has ordained her a saint.

@@sinisalukic2491 Lol, say excatly this sentence 1 to 1 in any public place of a major city in Kosovo and your mom will mourn. If you like Prishtina so much, why don't you just live there? And I'm not speaking about living in the Graqanica ghettos where most of your people live, but straight setteling in the downtown area.
@@sinisalukic2491 Only on the internet the shkijet have the balls to say such things. Why don't you say this to the absolute majority of the people living in Prizren and Prishtina?
Nis is Albania 🇦🇱
Infact Skenderbeg was sucessful while he was alive Ottoman could not occupy Albania they did only affter Slenderbeg death.
Skenderbeg was Serbian.His name was Djuradj, father Ivan, mother Vojislava, grandfather Konstantin, sisters Marija, Angelina, Vlajka, Jela and Mamic, brothers Reposa, Stanisa and Konstantin............they all were Orthodox Christs............if Albanians are proud of him, they should love Serbians too
I really enjoy the non douchy approach to travel, all this exploring outside the beaten path and walks.
Thanks for giving me a nice flashback from my visit there in 2015. Mother Teresa Boulevard is so nice to walk.
Pristina loooks much more better than this video.
Pse femrat nuk mbajnë hixhabin edhe pse Kosova, Bosnja dhe Hercegovina dhe Shqipëria janë vende islamike?
Dhe një çështje tjetër: Pse nuk ndërtojnë xhami, sepse xhamitë e ndërtuara në kohën osmane nuk janë të mjaftueshme për numrin e madh të banorëve, dhe ka fshatra në të cilat nuk ka xhami?
Unë e di që Islami nuk është vetëm ajo që një musliman thotë apo shkruan në letërnjoftim.
Islami është nënshtrim ndaj Zotit nëpërmjet monoteizmit dhe nënshtrim ndaj Tij nëpërmjet bindjes, faljes së namazit5 në kohë, dhënies së zekatit atyre që pasuria e tyre arrin kufirin e kuorumit, agjërimit të Ramazanit dhe kryerjes së haxhit për ata që janë në gjendje ta bëjnë atë.

Hey Gabe, great to see so many new videos recently, thanks for keeping us entertained! Do you ever feel lonely doing all this travelling by yourself? If so, how do you cope with it? Greetings from Northern Europe!
Hi if i can add my opinion i noticed from Gabriel videos that he's a very friendly person. But with a direct places to go, i truly admire he's ability to do this full time job. It's inspiring
Hi
Thanks for showing this country. It's not a popular country to visit.
Gabriel you have to try the night life, that's what Prishtina is known for mostly, although during warmer months. But it's still worth it during this time. You should either go to the "Kafet e Vogla" area (St. Fehmi Agani) or "Kafet e Rakise" (St. Sylejman Vokshi). Miqt Pub is the place to go if you opt for Kafet e Vogla while in the other area wherever you go it's good. Have a nice time here!
@Fermati Chebellosei yes, night life.
As a person from czech bsckground it's great to see Kosovo doing so well after communism collapsed in Czech it took along time to rebuild but the people were free and didn't have to worry about what they did or said without being tortured or killed.
♥
Thank you so much for the great video. I learn so much from your videos. I remembered the war, but I didn't really know the details. History is so important to understanding a place, I think. Really awesome video. I always look forward to your videos!
I Love Kosovo... I wish our government make a diolomatic relationship with Kosovo, so i can visit Pristina Kosovo quickly. 🇮🇩❤️🇽🇰
You can always visit it,first come to Serbia an dgo there,its easy
You don't have to wait for diplomatic relations to visit Kosovo, you are welcome to our country any time you like😀👍
Poor Serbs in the comment section below 👇 they wan't understand that Kosovo is INDEPENDENT. And free from Yugoslavia. Learn to appreciate what you already have.
I've noticed a number of very cool dogs in the last couple of videos. I'm giving Albanians and Kosovans props for that. Guess that's just me. And I couldn't imagine a trip to the Balkans without taking in a Balkan dance performance.
There are plenty of stray dogs here in Prishtina. I would says over 90% of them are friendly as people feed and take care of them. Only in my neighborhood there are like 6 or 7 dogs we take care of.
Hi Gabriel, thanks for visiting my city :) cos I am away from it. I may say that Pristina is not a disputed country of Kosovo, its a free country.
Thanks for a realistic feel for the city of today
Just found out my ancestors are from Kosovo, never heard of it. I'm very interested, thanks for your video.

Thanks for the visit and the great video!
The title is however very misleading. Kosovo is not a disputed country. Please check more facts
and consider correcting the title.
Hi Petrit, thanks for watching. Only about 50% of the countries in the world recognize Kosovo as independent, Serbia claims it's part of Serbia and it isn't recognized by the United Nations. So that's why it's considered to be disputed. Here's the list of nations recognized by the UN:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_states_of_the_United_Nations
"The United Nations has not recognized Kosovo as an independent state. Per United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 and the ongoing dialogue on the political status of Kosovo, the Republic of Kosovo is not a member of the United Nations, despite having relations with half of member states."
kosovo is disputed and isnt even recognized by the UN
I support the independence of Kosovo🇽🇰, but it's pointless to lie and pretend everyone agrees with me or with you, and that there is no dispute about its status.
Kosovo and Metohija is autonomous province in republic of Serbia
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Hey Gabriel, your data is not up to date. Kosovo is currently officially recognized by 115 of the 193 (60%) member states of the United Nations, 22 of the 27 (81%) member states of the European Union and 26 of the 30 (87%) NATO members. Aside from that it doesn't have to belong to the UN to be an independent state. Just because some don't recognize it doesn't mean it isn't independent. Kosovo is de facto independent. Kosovo is an independent state with its own legal system, school system, police force, military, etc. According to the International Court of Justice, Kosovo's independence is legal and valid. Therefore your title is misleading. You even seem to come from a country that has also recognized Kosovo. With all due respect I do not consider this to be respectful towards the Kosovan people to question their right to exist. Anyway, make it up to yourself.
Thank you for sharing your travels; it's always intersting to learn about new countries, it's people and their customs.
Loving your kosovo adventures! Definitely Prizren looks more interesting than Pristina, but sometimes that's what is with the bigger cities vs. smaller ones, certainly Kosovo is a super interesting place, well worth it visiting. 🙂
I visited Prizren and enjoyed it. Maybe, I can go to Pristina sometime, also🙂

This is such a great video! I encourage you to visit Prekaz, in which you can learn much about the genoice that happened in Kosovo, it is a memorial site about the Jashari family!
Genocide? Jashari was a terrorist who created the Kosovo Liberation Army, he dragged his family into battle as the coward he was. He could have surrendered to the Yugoslav police as any normal person would, but he decided to risk his life and the lives of his family. Not to mention his involvement in the Albanian mafia which continues to operate throughout Kosovo to this day and in other parts of Europe.

I hate to break it to you but Kosovo is not disputed! It has been recognized as an Independent country since 2008. Maybe when you were traveling through Serbia someone there must have misinformed you.
kosovo is disputed its partially recognized and isnt a member of the UN or other organizations
@@Wolverine-ky9gk who the hell cares about the UN! When have they done anything good? What is important is that Kosovo has been recognized by the US, Britain, Germany, Japan and the great state of Israel and the rest of the European countries with the exception of three or four who really don’t play any role in world stage.
Your comment is as pointless as those by Serbs insisting Kosovo is nothing but a province of Serbia. We are outsiders who don't know every last detail, but we can easily grasp the basics of the situation and for many of us, it's not like we just heard about Kosovo yesterday. Someone can support Kosovo's independence without pretending there aren't countries that refuse to recognise it. The situation is what it is.
Every video about Kosovo is plagued with these fruitless arguments in the comments.
@@cephalopod7300 Yeah I know what you mean. It’s about the same as Mexico stating that Texas, Arizona, N Mexico and California will always be their land and one day they will get it back. And if that’s not enough headache for the US having to worry about the threat coming from Mexico they now also have to tend to the feelings of the Russians who will never get Alaska back either…lol History can be bit tricky…

Is the disputed keyword intended to serve as a clickbait ? And the city has perhaps triple the population that you have portrayed in the begging.
Population (2011)
• Urban 161,751
• Rural 37,146
• Municipality[2] 198,897
Kosova’s statehood is NOT disputed. Kosova’s Independence is recognized by the most democratic countries in the world (over 120 countries). Serbia who invaded Kosova in 1999 (like Putin has invaded Ukraine now) of course doesn’t want to accept the reality and recognize Kosova but their recognition doesn’t mean much. Kosova is known for having the youngest population in Europe, over 50% of its population is under 25 yeras old.
No Kosovo annexation hypocrisy west, Spain, Slovakia, Latin America do not recognize Kosovo
@@ИльяХодченков-е4б :Who cares about corrupt Latin America? They have zero importance. Spain may recognize Kosova in the near future.
@@HA-mn7si Latin countries are democracies so that it doesn’t happen that only we Russians and Chinese authoritative countries support Serbia
about Spain, they have their own problems with separatism and are unlikely to admit
By the way, I am surprised how Western countries recognize Kosovo, but there is no Abkhazia and Ossetia, no Catalonia, no Crimea (somewhere territorial integrity is more important for them, and somewhere the right to self-determination is typical hypocrisy)
Here's the whole history of Kosovo according to someone who lives in Kosovo.
In 1998 Kosovo and Serbia entered a war against each other, it started in Saturday, February 28, 1998 and ended in Friday, June 11, 1999. we are descendants of the Dardanians and Serbia thinks it owns us which a lot of kosovars and albanians strongly disagree with. we are ethnic albanians, some people might think this is a....unique place, but its still our home and we welcome everyone.
@@AlexA-ls4gc As a person that lives in kosovo i disagree with that. But we probably cant enter a war because nato is protecting us
you are descendants of the Dardanians as much as I am a descendant of Julius Caesar. The amount of delusion and lies you live in is incredible
Excellent video.
Travel question: I will be in Tirana for a few days in September for some business and will have the opportunity potentially for a one day visit to Prizren and/or Pristina (unfortunately, only will have a day). It's a lot of driving and yes multiple days would be better but was curious whether this is something you would do having just been to both places. Thanks.
Just a heads up I've been to Tirana it's a nice place and interesting to see but easy to see in 48 hours and then move location.... If the drive isn't too bad, personally I'd Google bus services and I always wish I'd gone to Kosovo we went to Montenegro instead another beautiful country but Kosovo is high on my list of places to go. Enjoy Tirana if you're booking hotels though I liked staying in the tourist part it was nice to go out in the day exploring the city but then at night the nightlife is lively, there's fellow travellers and for me as a solo woman i felt a little safer in the tourist area having a couple drinks and walking to my hotel. Enjoy.
It could be doable if you're up for a very long day. It's a pretty drive. There's a border crossing so you'll have to factor that in as well. The bus waited at the border for a little while but not too long, maybe 30 minutes or so. Or if you wanted to go somewhere a lot closer and easier you might consider Durres. I haven't been there yet but have heard it's pretty nice.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Skamderbag ... sounds like a good name to call a scatterbrained dirtbag scam artist .
Sorry I couldn't resist saying it .
Tirana-Prizren is a 2 hour drive and it’s well connected and visitable for 24 hours! I would go to Prizren
you can do both in one day! not far, and doable in a day.
I hope you end up renting a car -- you always find such random and cool stuff when you're exploring the countryside -- but it does sound like it may be a hassle. Either way, these Kosovo videos are insanely interesting.
Awesome, glad to hear it.
The first Albanian tribe was documented in Kosovo Dardania and it was called Dushmani tribe way before turks and slavs arrive

USA never does anything to help anyone though, just always looking for their own interests. Still they can do some good once in a while, like it seems to be the case here, for the people in Kosovo at least.
Good to know by getting some general information about Kosovo and it's history, also pointing out for not wearing masks, here in India people still wear mask in most places.
Nobody really cares about masks or covid anymore here,since almost all the restrictions has been removed.
It is not disputed, Kosovo is independent country

Thank you Gabriel, interesting city 😊❤
In fact scanderbeg was very successful when he lived he destroyed ottomans. But he died and they returned to invade. He had 20.000 army destroyed 200.000 man army
finally, we can see Muslim women in all their beauty, religion should be an inner, personal thing!
covering your body is also a personal thing.
We are muslims merely on paper. Most Albanians don't really practice religion as much which is a common theme in many parts of Europe.
Btw the fall of the Ottoman empire was started in Kosovo, so yeah, kudos to Kosovo ;)

Don't call Kosovo "a disputed country".
It is only disputed by Russia, Serbia and their allies.
It would be the same as calling Ukraine a disputed country too. Which is not only wrong, but unfair and gives reason for new war against these people.
About 51% of the UN member states recognise Kosovo,meaning almost half of the world does not recognise independence. Serbia claims it to be a part of the country and indeed between 2001 and 2008 it was a part of Serbia. I personally would say Kosovo is fully independent. However, it is absolutely disputed. The same applies for countries like the PRC, ROC, ROK, DPRK, Israel, Palestine, Cyprus, TRNC, etc. They are all disputed countries, i.e. at least one UN member state does not recognise independence. Yes Kosovo is disputed even if I and you agree it is fully independent
@@herodesees3767 Belgrad is Turkish city 1521 بلغراد🇹🇷💪🏼
@@herodesees3767 If we follow your logic and your reason, then we should call the U.S.A and China disputed countries too. Even the earth should be called a disputed planet because some people dispute the spherical shape of it.
The fact that Kosovo is disputed does not mean that we should label it a "disputed country".... Or a "muslim country", or a "poor country", or a "low IQ country".
You can simply say "a country" and then proceed to give information about it.
as long as Serbia does not recognize you, you do not legally exist as a state, that is why you have KFOR forces on your territory, you are currently a western protectorate and will remain so until Serbia recognizes you (which will never happen)
if you support the full sovereignty of Ukraine, then you should also support the full sovereignty of Serbia.
I love it when you fall into traps for yourself like I support Ukraine but I also want an independent Kosovo which is impossible

@@PJL7095 Real unemployment is around 20%, in the west the numbers are the same given that u exclude all the fake sponsored jobs by the liberal governements and feminist government. Italians and spaniards + greeks are also "unemployed" and leaving their countries but ofc they don't get shit for that like Albanians . The diaspora works and live in germany and switzerland and often send money back and many have created businesses there.
@@PJL7095 it is the case similar as Nagorno-Karabah, at some point in the future will be 100% reintegrated by force into Serbia as it was before. We will not tolerate some artificial entity which base its existence on hate towards Serbia. Unemployment is 30%. They live from the diaspora seeing money, international donations, while criminal and corruption are enormous. In general, people are leaving the place if they can, that is why EU still keeps visa regime for them.

Hello, sorry I just saw your comment.
I'm from Kosovo and we all support our indipendence, at least 95% of our population, and why?
First of all.. Kosovo is inhabited around 95% by Albanians and we were part of Jugoslavia, which means "Slavs of the south", so in short words non-slavic people were not welcome in this country to begin with as we albanians aren't slavs.
Non of us wants serbia because they always forced our people to migrate outside, dif you know that 1-5 milion turks have albanian origins? That's because Jugoslavia forced Albanians to go in Turkey.
However we started hating serbia after 1.990 as during that time they removed all our rights, involving the fact they prohibited Albanian language in school and they burned Albanian books.
In 1.999 they killled around 14.000 Albanians involving 1.334 children/babies, serbs raped 20.000 women and burned hundreds of fabrics and 100.000 houses.
In 2008 Kosovo become independent, and that's the only reality in 2022. ( An independent republic of Kosovo )
You asked another question, yeah we're poor, many people are migrating for better life in Germany, Switzerland and other european countries, every price keeps becoming highter and the people have difficulties so more family members need to work in order to afford the living.
There is work.. but they don't pay enough in works.
In 2021 Kosovo voted for the first a completely different partie and I trust a lot them, they have been fighting A LOT corruption.
@@PJL7095 thats fake history lmao
Nice country
Greetings from Libya
I was born and grew up there,but never said l am from jugoslavia and never heard any albanian saying that.
And believe me I don't remember ever writing the name jugoslavia until now that I had to response to you.
We are albanian from Kosova.
Pretty cool he was walking down the road where my wife lives in the beginning of the video. Walk down there to prince coffee all the time in while i'm in kosovo.
Cool. 👍
Thank you for all this wonderful videos 😍
Pristina,the capital of southern province of Serbia.
Kosovo is an independent state and will always be. Thanks for this wonderful video of my most beautiful state. Together with our friends we are moving forward towards success. God bless this wonderful place. ❤️ thank you
See you next year in Prizren 🇷🇸🇷🇺🙋🏻

🚨🚨
Why is Serbia fighting Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Albania?
While Croatia, Macedonia, Slovenia and Montenegro did not fight?
The Serbs committed brutal massacres in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as in Kosovo
Nothing disputed about Kosovo. Kosovo is Kosovo and that's it. It has its own government, its own people.
Kosovo is disputed and is partially recognized
@@Wolverine-ky9gk And it is southern province of Republic of Serbia.
We see evidence of the dispute in every dumb argument in the TH-cam comments of every video about Kosovo. The de facto situation is pretty clear. The de jure situation differs depending on who you're talking to.
It is pointless to just pretend there is no dispute. You can fully support Kosovo's independence without lying about this.
@@mihajloboric7889 znam
@@cephalopod7300 There was a dispute. It was resolved with Kosovo's declaration of independence, its recognition by most of the world, and the last 20 years of Kosovo living as an independent state. Some others may keep discussing it but Kosovo has no reason to do so, just keep living as an independent state as they have done for the past 20 years. That's why I say there is nothing left to discuss for Kosovo. It is independent.
Just one tip about Serbian noble Djuradj Kastriotic called SkenderBeg , both of his brother Reposh and grandfather Branilo are buried in Serbian monastery Hilandar in today's Greece. ☦️
😂😂😂😂
I just hope Albanians and Serbians can live peacefully together and in this crazy times stay calm and not get into conflicts with each other. Living in Serbia and seeing the progress the country has made so far, no body wants another war. The situation is not the greatest between our governments but people are sick and tired of hate and following our leaders like sheep. Lets respect each other and spread love and good in this Balkan region. Let our kids and young people live without worry. Love you guys and I hope we can win over the crazy politicians that want us to fight. 🇷🇸♥️🇦🇱
i agree
Bravo, that was the idea from the beginning👍but every country defends its borders, so does Serbia. The border between Albanians and Serbs was established in 1912 when Albania and its nation were established on Serbian soil by Habsburgs. Doesn't it suffice?
i like what u said
Thousands and thousands Albanians live in Belgrade an 0 Serbs in Prishtina. Yes we can live togheter.
@@funwithbell7207I agree with you
Muslims are good people but islamists are very dangerous

Then u didnt see much of this world
Gabriel as someone from Seattle I am curious about the homeless violence and drug addicts in the cities of middle and eastern Europe. I noticed the guy crying in the middle of the street and I dont see it often in any vlogger videos. Seattle I see homeless men having sex with each other in broad daylight infront of a store and kids and they're not shy to spit in your face or throw a needle at you.
Homeless men don’t do these things in eastern Europe, they just ask for money!
You would have to go to a really shitty area of European cities to see that I think. Yes there are often beggars or homeless people, but I've seen some street videos from US cities like you mention that look truly shocking, not at all the America people see in the movies.
We would both have to visit each other's parts of the world to judge for ourselves maybe.
Beggars here in Kosovo are 99% gypsies, it's like a profession for them. Most of them are unemployed and survive by collecting scrap metal to sell it, music or begging on the streets. You also might find them in the streets during traffic trying to clean your windshield for some money. Gypsies are not hostile though, they are very loving and friendly, great people. Poverty is a great problem in this community. Such imoral acts happening in public in the streets of Seattle are unheard of in here. People here are calm and don't behave in disrespectful manners, because firstly it's shameful according to our culture and secondly, you might get hurt or killed if you walk throwing stuff or spitting strangers here. And if someone tries having sex in public, I only can imagine that many people, mainly parents would try to stop them or beat them in the worst case. Hopefully I answered your question.
That guy crying in the middle of the street is mentally ill. You won't see homeless people in Kosova. You will see some beggars that are of minority groups. At times you'll se some handicapped begging too but not homeless people on the streets. Some are scammers too.
