Hang a left on Bill Clinton...


Note the street sign: written twice, once in Serbian Cyrillic, once in Albanian's Roman alphabet. Of course, none of these street names are actually used anymore or given any creedance, as the names come from Serbian nationalism and words. Only three streets in Pristina actually have verifiable names: Mother Theresa street, Haradinaj street, and Bill Clinton street. Everything else is referred to via various landmarks (aka Police street, ABC Cinema street, UN street...)

Sounds like it is difficult to give directions in Prishtina. Are YOU finding it difficult to get around?
