I have spent one night in the independent Kosovo. Its is a very poor place and I am sure that half the GDP is from international assistance - KFOR (Italian and French troops), OCSE, UN, UNHCR. There are blue and white Landcruisers everywhere and a massive compound next to my hotel.
I drove across Kosovo from the East (crazy local drivers), houses and construction sites were flying the Kosovo and US flags. I had a chat to a couple of US Journalism students, on an exchange program, the US is credited for Kosovo's independence, so if your American, you are loved here, probably the only place outside the US!
