Interesting article on the Pristina real estate market

On first arrival in Kosovo's capital city, most people are struck by the ugliness of the place. From the northern approach, two ageing thermo-electric power plants spew out whitish-grey smoke over Pristina's uncontrolled sprawl. Closer to the centre, the jumble of dull concrete buildings becomes only a little more orderly. Since 1999, when weeks of pounding by Nato warplanes forced the former Serb regime to pull out of Kosovo, the main city of around 200,000 has swelled to roughly half a million - without a trace, except on paper, of an urban plan.
