Did You Know?
Kosovo has a median age of roughly 31 years, the youngest in Europe, and Pristina is where most of that population is heading. Around half the country is under 30.
The clock: Pristina keeps UTC+1 with its neighbours. Kosovo declared independence in 2008 and is recognised by roughly half the UN's members, which makes its international dialling code — +383, assigned in 2016 — a relatively hard-won piece of infrastructure.
