“I first arrived in #Kosovo nearly 20 years ago,” the photographer @andrew_testa writes. “In 1999, NATO intervened on the side of ethnic Albanian rebels against the forces of Slobodan Milosevic’s Serbia. I came to cover the war. As NATO bombs fell, Serbian forces opened a campaign of ethnic cleansing that drove almost a million Kosovar Albanians, predominantly Muslims, from their homes. Serbia, mostly Orthodox Christian, soon capitulated and withdrew its forces. Afterward, Kosovo spent 9 years under United Nations control, an internationally supervised limbo.” @andrew_testa has since visited Kosovo frequently. He based himself in Pristina, the capital, from 1999 until 2005. It was in 1999 that he took this photo, of Ethnic Albanian refugees leaving the woods below Gajre, where they’d been hiding for 3 days from Serb shelling of their villages. A decade ago today, the mountainous, landlocked region of less than 2 million people declared independence from Serbia. Yet far from ending its troubles, independence seems to have brought #Kosovo a new set of problems. On @andrew_testa’s most recent visit, he witnessed optimism yielding to fear and resignation.
