Pristina is the capital of Kosovo and the seat of the eponymous municipality and district. Its population is predominantly Albanian-speaking, constituting the second-largest such city in Europe, after Tirana.

Kosovo Fun Facts:

  • The Olympic Games in Rio 2016 were the first to host athletes competing under the flag of Kosovo. 

  • The national anthem, Europe, has no lyrics. The Albanian-speaking government decided not to risk offending Serbs who live in the country by having lyrics in Albanian.

  • The name Kosovo is derived from a Serbian place-name meaning ‘field of blackbirds’.
