12-hour Pristina night

Published by Nate at 06:35 under Balkans, Kosovo

Only in Pristina: Drinking and dinner included a former KLA fighter turned venture capitalist who thinks I should invest with him, two hired Roma musicians, a 27-year-old Vermont state representative, a Kosovar born-again Christian rocker and other assorted folk. 

We’re still recovering from this productive evening and a little encounter with Kosovo police. But Bashkim managed to avoid a speeding ticket (97 kph in a 60 zone) after telling them that I’m an American journalist Jew, which apparently means that drivers of such people are exempt from traffic laws. Perks, indeed.
