There is was a protest today by the "Self Determination" group and they tossed eggs at the entrance of MHQ. Security was droning on and on this morning that we should avoid the area...guess that means I should have packed it up for lunch and gone home for a nap?! Yeah, I wish! The weather is definitely nap weather...cold & rainy. It is hard to be enthusiastic about waking up in the morning after two weeks of glorious sunshine in Egypt :) But se la vie...what can I do?
This past weekend, four Serbs from Gracanica were arrested for war crimes committed in 1999. Since then, the Serbs have been protesting by blocking the roads in Gracanica. While annoying, it does a good job of making a statement because the main route to Gjilane is through Gracanica and when the road is blocked, the alternate way takes about twice as long to travel. The Serbs say that they will continue the roadblocks until the arrestees are released.
