Kosovo is Free and you can tell if you were in Times Square today
As we walked down 42nd street from 8th avenue till 7th, a huge swarm of cars carrying the American flag and what looked initially to me like the Spider-Man logo drove down the block honking their horns and waving the flag about incessantly.
As we walked a bit further down we noticed that as far as the eye could see, this was the scene all over Times Square.
Kosovo has gained its independence with huge support from the U.S.A. And to be quite honest, I’ve never seen a bunch of people be so patriotic and have so much gratitude for the U.S. ever in my life. It was quite spectacular and the excitement was palpable.

I believe Albania has been independent for many years. The formally Serbian controlled area of Kosovo in which Albanians are the majority ethnic group has declared independence.
Ciao Dhaval.
Molto bello il tuo inserto. Can you put some pics from this meeting? I live in Italy and I simpatize the albanian issue.
Bye
Sokoli, unfortunately I don’t have the photos but if I find any online, I’ll be sure to update this link with them.
You must be as excited as the people I saw today. It was like something out of the movies. Their eyes were lit up, they were all united. They were jumping out of their cars and dancing with the flag. I’ve never seen such love for a country before.
It shows you how we shouldn’t take independence for granted. It’s truly a beautiful thing.
Hey there Dhaval:
I was there in Times Square that day as well just observing and got into the celebration a bit as well. It was like a dream come true. Completely surreal and incredible to witness, especially for people who care about human rights. Thanks for this! Cheers.
All the best,
