Wow, it’s hard to believe that nearly a month has passed since I last wrote. I am reminded now of the saying “the more things change the more they stay the same”. UNMIK continues to downsize while EULEX is operating in police & justice…yet nothing really feels different…people are just wearing different uniforms and there are more flats with “For Rent” signs than usual. With the downsizing of UNMIK, rumors are many about the fate of the employees. A protest over the extension of contracts may occur later today or tomorrow on behalf of the UNMIK national staff.
The power situation has been great other than the fact that I discovered my landlady trying to save money by switching off the fuses in my flat after I left for work every day. How much she thought she was saving by turning off my refrigerator, hot water heater, and one heater each day I have no idea!!! I finally got fed up and had a discussion with her son explaining that I’ve noticed that the power in my flat was going off every day at approximately the same time and I was aware there were no power outages at the time. Miraculously the next day there was no planned outage in my flat
In sad news, I saw a report that an eight-year-old boy was attacked and killed by a pack of wild dogs earlier this week near Kamenica. This is not the first time that a child has been killed by dogs in Kosovo and with the huge number of strays I am sure that it won’t be the last. Of course, those wanting to assist with the stray dog issue can contact the Kosovo Animal Shelter (email or by telephone at +377 44 126 439 or +377 44 199 061) to donate time, food, and funds!
The weather continues to be winter-like with small snowstorms every few days. That means I get more time to enjoy snowboarding in Brezovica with my friends so you won’t hear many complaints from this snow-bunny!
