Prishtina the Capital of the Re-Born Kosova

Early history

In Roman times a large town called Ulpiana existed 15 kilometers (9 miles) to the south of modern-day Pristina. This city was destroyed but was restored by the Emperor Justinian I. Today the town of Lipljan stands on the site of the Roman city, and remains of the old city can still be seen.
After the fall of Rome, Pristina grew from the ruins of the former Roman city. The city was located at a junction of roads leading in all directions throughout the Balkans. For this reason Pristina rose to become an important trading centre on the main trade routes across south-eastern Europe.

Occupied by Serb's Prishtina served as the capital of the Tyranic Serb proclamed as King (Milutin 1282-1321) who killed more than 2000 Albanians and clinsed Pristina from the autoctones Albanians, Pristina was occupied by Serbs from other Serbian rulers from the Nemanjić and Branković dynasties until the Battle of Kosovo in 1389, when an invading Ottoman army decisively defeated the Balkans coalition army (Albanians. Serb's, Hungarians etc). In the following decades the area gradually came under Ottoman control, there was an Ottoman law-court in Pristina in 1423.

Balkan Wars
After the Serbian army took the city of Pristina from thr Ottomans in October 1912, the retaliation against the civilian population was fierce. Reports say that immediately upon entering the city, the Serbian army began "hunting" the Albanians, making bloodshed and "literally decimated" Pristina population. Number of Albanians of Pristina killed in the early days of the Serbian rule is estimated at 5,000.

Environment
During the city's rule by Serbia, Pristina had very few green places. Parku i Qytetit (English: City Park), was a badly managed park and was the only real green place in Pristina. Three markets (one of them very large) used to be a hotspot for dumping waste and other materials on the roads. This made the city look unattractive and unfriendly.

After the war of 1999 Pristina has changed dramatically. City Park has been fully changed. It now has stone pathways, tall trees, flowers have been planted and a public area has been built for children. The much larger Gërmia Park, located to the east of the city is the best place for a family to go and relax. Restaurants, small paths for people to have a run and a large outdoor swimming pool, basketball and volleyball court have been built for the pleasure of the citizens. Lately a new green place called Tauk Bashqe has been made half way between Gërmia and City Park.

After the construction of the new Mother Teresa Square, many trees and flowers have been planted. This had a big impact to the city because of the trees excreting oxygen in the air. Many old buildings in front of the government building have been cleared to provide open space.
