Here is the second part of my diary from Kosovo and Metohija (Kosmet). (The first part is here ). Journey from Kosovska Mitrovica to Orahovac.
The journey from Kosovska Mitrovica to Orahovac was one of the most frightening of my espereineza in Kosmet. Immediately after crossing the bridge that separates the northern part of K. Mitrovica (Serbian part) from the south (Albanian part) we see houses, villages and places Serbs burned. On the stage, where not so long ago, in some places, the population was in majority Serb , now there is not even one more.
Let Serbian churches and cemeteries blown up by mines or fire and destroyed by Albanians. Next to them a string of ugly and insignificant Construction type gas stations, hotels, mosques and monuments of the terrorists of the KLA or huge mansions built by the Albanians over the past 10 years certainly does not create a rare combination.
One of the mosques built recently. Of these there are really everywhere, but still nothing REPRESENTATION it as a historian, are of architectural importance.
One of the many "monuments" of terror. 
All these Serb homes burnt and ruined me create feelings of dismay and fear. 
Do you think this power plant near Obilic until 1999 was the largest in the central Kosmetica and producing enough electricity for the entire province. Today, in the hands of "experts" Albanian produces just 10%. So I needed electric current restrictions that leave areas for hours or even for days without electricity. And that is something a bit 'intentional and serves as a political tool to put pressure on people to take heed or internationally.
Wishing you could not only produce energy for the entire Kosmetica, even if they could export.
The entrance to Pristina, the city where they lived until in 1999, 40,000 Serbs and 10,000 Roma. After the ethnic cleansing by the Albanians, with strong support from the United States and NATO countries, today we still live just a few thousand Serbs and Roma 1000.
And here also a demonstration to show a stupid tacky gratituddine the United States: a replica of the Statue of Liberty! (Price is still to be seen that the Albanians will have to pay the U.S. for the help!)
Throughout the trip, I tried to find signs of cultural and historical Albanians, to understand what Kosmetica Albanian heritage. But more than new construction such as these, new mosques, palaces, monuments to terrorists and insignificant I found. These buildings were built in the last 10 years, some straight on Serbian holy sites, and certainly do not represent a good example of architectural heritage or ethnic group ... are piutosto indeed a shame!
Another mosque "modern." The number of mosques need to prove "ownership" of Albanian .... 
on Signal road applications often written Serbian (Latin alphabet that even the Serbs do not recognize) are deleted. This is an "invitation" Serb refugees not to return to their place of origin. All the signals that have been made after the declaration of independence show signs written in Albanian and Serbian (Latin). Until 1999, the signs were written in Serbian (Cyrillic and Latin) and Albanian. From the names of places, mountains and rivers, however, we see that there are no places of Albanian origin. The names have only been adapted to the way scirvere of the Albanian language. Even the name "Kosovo" is a word that comes from the Serbian, Albanian, the word has no meaning.
means that the name of Albanian origin, there are none around here, because there was no need to keep the Serbian name.
An example: Vucitrn (Serbian)-Vushtrri (alb), Obilic (Serbian)-Obiliq (alb) ...
I was thinking it would be like if, for example in Switzerland Serbs declare independence in the province of Zurich calling it "Cirih", that is the Serbian way of writing the word "Zurich", as other non-Serb. Because in this case, of Serbian heritage in Switzerland there is none, then there are names of places etc. words that go back to Serbia.
In the third part of my next journal I'll talk about something lighter, more beautiful ... unfortunately during the journey to arrive in the Serbian enclave, I had the pleasurable feelings. How
here in Suva Reka (Metohija), with Orthodox churches mined by the roadside. In Suva Reka up to 3,000 Serbs lived 10 years ago. Now even a
has returned to live here.
For those who want to see my whole album, is on face book.
