Gezuar Pavarsia!! - Happy Independence

Gazuar Pavarsia - Happy Independence. That was the phrase of the day here in Peje and all over Kosova. The day many have waited for has finally come. Kosova was declared an independant, free and democratic republic, making it the worlds newest nation. Thousands gathered in the central square in Peje, the streets were heaving with people and flags were flying proudly. It remains to be seen who will recognize this new nation and to what lengths Serbia will go to keep her territory in tact. I think there is no turning back now and its just a matter of time until the whole world comes around. The bigger question is, "Is Kosova ready for the big wide world?", not, "Is the world ready for Kosova?" The people of this new nation have a lot of hard work ahead of them. Many of us are praying for them in this time of new birth, that not only will there be the birth of a new nation but the new birth of the hearts of individuals as well.
