Elliot Engel, often described as one of the more mediocre members of the Democratic House Caucus, has a street named after him in Peja. I couldn’t help cracking a smile when I saw a store named Hillary located next to the Route 66 diner on Bill Clinton Blvd. in Pristina.
The status of Kosovo is contentious because Serbs view Kosovo as the historic and religious heartland of their people though Albanians now compose over ninety percent of its population. The Serbian Patriarchate, the center of the Serbian Orthodox Church is located in Peja—called Peč by Serbs.
