View of a parade

Military celebration on in Pristina, Kosovo, before "The Night of Fire". It's a nationalist celebration that marks the anniversary of the killings of Adem Jashari, one of the Kosovo Liberation Army's founders, and his family.

 

Strange affair altogether, and I have to admit that this came as a surprise to me: I knew there was going to be an event, but didn't expect hundreds of soldiers and big speeches.

 

Don't know what to think - everyone's all fired up about the supposedly radical students demonstrating while the officialdom embraces KLA with its snipers and village raids. No one's getting their panties in a bunch about that.
