🇽🇰 DAVID’S BEEN HERE KOSOVO & ALBANIA SHIRTS: teespring.com/...
As my adventures in Kosovo continued, I explored an amazing livestock market and visited some castle ruins in Novo Brdo, Kosovo! Join me as I continue exploring this amazing Balkan country!

My morning began in Llabjan, a small village outside of Gjilan. My travel buddy Erjan from Travel Media EU and I would be hitting up a livestock market along the side of the road and a famous castle about 20 minutes away!
The livestock market happens every Sunday. There, villagers sell their products, including pottery, honey, fresh produce, and live animals! They have chickens, goats, sheep, cows, and turkeys! The produce included peppers, onions, potatoes, grapes, pumpkins, and more.
Some of the vendors even sold bottled tomato juice and ajvar, which is a paste made from roasted red peppers and eggplant. As we browsed, I could see some men’s clothing, shoes, kitchen and bathroom items, drills, jacks, and jackets. It was super cold out, so I considered getting another jacket!
The market has been around for years, and the villagers have kept it in the same style. As we continued, I met a vendor who sells 18 different types of raki, including some in honey jars! Out in the field was a man who will kill the chickens you buy for 1 Euro!
Further on were some typical village eggs, and finally, the livestock! There were lots of big, beautiful roosters and hens in some cages. There’s only one rooster; the rest were hens!
Then, I found a vendor selling some axes and more black-and-white chickens, and some black chickens that had some brown, green, and aqua coloring on them. Then, we saw some colorful ducks, a large white turkey, and a truck full of chickens.
Then, we came across some handmade pottery, including tava plates, ibriks for holding raki, casserole dishes, beautiful water jugs, and bowls. They even had belts. I loved that everything was made there! We found another vendor selling pottery as well. I loved the water jugs and the plates. They were gorgeous!
I got six small dishes for Turtle Farm Albania, two small sugar pots, a large one for my wife, and Erjan bought a large tava dish! I couldn’t wait to buy more stuff from him when Turtle Farm Albania is more developed. In total, we spent 50 Euros there!
Then, we drove about 20 minutes to Novo Brdo Fortress. It was built back in the 13th century. This area of Kosovo was famous for its gold and silver. The castle was built so store the gold and silver in the castle. Unlike other castles I’d visited in Albania and Kosovo, this wasn’t a living castle, so there are no homes or restaurants inside it.
To reach the castle, we had to hike about five minutes up a rocky path. There were some cafés and restaurants around the base of the hill. At the top are the ruins of the castle. It’s huge and beautiful. It’s 14 meters high and has a visual view with two other castles, which helped them protect each other. The other two castles are now in ruin.
The castle is built atop lots of huge boulders. One side of the castle was being renovated. The corners of the castle were red bricks. Through the main wooden door, you can see the ruins inside.
Down the hill are some ruins, including some wells and the foundations of houses. From there, you get some gorgeous views of the castle in the background!
From there, passed lots of farmland before taking a national road to Ferizaj, which is further south. After we hit the national road, we didn’t pass a single car for 15 minutes as we rode past more farms and forests.
Finally, we arrived in Ferizaj, which is 3o minutes from Pristina and 20 minutes from North Macedonia!

Kosovo is Serbia
I bet David has fall in love with Kosovo, he can't leave.
He must’ve, best part of Serbia
@@nicksloter4908 : Delusion is a serious disorder. Get yourself checked. Remember March 24, 1999? Biden is back... he might make it “rain” over Serbia again.
@@user-be3tm7op4o : Gabim shtypi. 👍 flm
lol this was all shot in October over 10 days :)
This place is called Artana in albanian. Novo brdo is the serbian name.
Pravo ime
@@markoantic7643 da Artana je pravo ime.. 🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱
Da Kosovo is Serbia
Artana s'oshtë kurgjo, si shumë emertime tjera mas luftës pa kurr shfarë llogjike pa u studju e mendue mir rrethanat e vendbanimit ko gjëndet, thjesht artificale te pa baza.

You are right David. Green color I see as well. Nothing brown. And
I'm very jealous about the pottery.. Nostalgia..you also got them for a very good price. If you buy them here in the Netherlands It will be much more for sure. My mom used to cook a lot with that in the open fire in the mountain.. Miss you my angels in heaven mom and dad. R.I.P. 🌹🌹My beautiful Kosovë god bless The great Albania 🇦🇱
Those ruins are awesome! Kosovo looks like such an interesting place!
Kosovo is looks like a must!
I’d visit for sure
Beautiful people
Yes, Ferizaj my home city. love to see it
Incredible place kosovo, and really great people 👍
Ndërroni emrat "Skllave" të qyteteve, menjëherë 🤔
Me mujt e kisha bo kosoven zvicer po politikanat e kosoves edhe serbis jan vllezer 😁
@@ediedi5308 po normale se politikanet e kosoves e marin zerfin me lek te majmur nga vuçiçi ndersa te shqiperise nga greku atyre ju interesojn te mbushin xhepat e jo te ndrojne emrat e qyteteve
Kosova filloi të ndryshonte të gjithë emrat sllavë disa vjet më parë, por u ndalua nga bashkësia ndërkombëtare dhe evropa. fatkeqësisht, këta emra mbeten ashtu si mbesin edhe në Shqipëri, me emra si velipoje tropoje, qorovode, pogradec etj.
@@ILLYRIANW0LF bashkesia nderkombtare dhe BE paguhen nga serbi e greku per te mbajtur anen e tyre dhe per te pranuar propaganden e tyre

The illegal authorities in Pristina, who originate from organised crime, want the illegal entity known as the Republic of Kosovo, which is a black hole for drug trafficking, organ trafficking, sex trafficking and gun trafficking, to join #Interpol. How inverted. #KosovojeSrbija

Thank you for your Work and your Videos David 🇦🇱🇽🇰 #CelsiShqiptaris #MesimPerQifteli #TraditatShqiptare
HAHAHAH WRONG translation 🚫🇦🇱
I Kosovo "Gjeli", is the "Rooster" 🐓
In Albania "gjel deti" is the turkey 🦃
Basically at 5:00 nobody said a chicken and a turkey make love, he said the chicken and the rooster make love. ( and usually the babies take the color of the "father", rooster )
The turkey 🦃 in Kosovo is named Quran 🇽🇰
So true David!.... these roosters and hens are extremely pretty.... wonder what breed they are
The black and white are Barred Rocks, they are good dual purpose, meat and eggs.
The ruin you saw from the castle is an old saxon church ruin from 5 th century , nuovomonte or novobrdo in slavic is much oldwr than the erjan told you. Problably it is older than 2000 years
You should have gone to Kulla Vllasaliu restaurant it was near that castle, David you should take somone from Kosovo to tour you someone that knows best places in Kosovo and that represents the best our place, our country, btw that guy with you is doing great job at his best, he is great and positive but take one another with you and you will not miss anything from this country. Best regards from Republic of Kosovo 🇽🇰🇽🇰🇽🇰
Hey David lots of love from India ❤️🙏
No
I love the vlogs amazing
loving the videos keep it up!
Good morning guys, where long are we going today?
Nice jacket David👍
The guy selling the chickens is very funny. He actually said: the rooster is so superior that when he f.... the hens they make two eggs each and the chicks look like the rooster not the hens. lmao
Erjan s'me besohet te kesh mbaru filoqylin per anglisht ti shoku.

Omg David you visited my grandma and grandpa they live in Novoberde
Artana e jo Novoberd siq e quanin serbet.
David👌👏👏👏❤️
The russian immigrants (serbs) want destroyd this castle because the castle have dardanian history!
For anybody who wants too now the full storry.
The castle was indeed from Dardanian times but it was already in a bad state. So the stupid government hired a Serbian company too restore it but instead of restoring it they vandalized it even more...
But there is good news too as you can see in the vid they have hired another company too restore it.
True fact 👍👍👍🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇽🇰🇽🇰🇽🇰
Famous Serbian castle
@@nicksloter4908 Castles exist only on Albanian lands, where are you writing from a Serbian hut

An interesting video, especially about the chickens😁😁 thanks David. Yes, if i were to buy those chickens, i would not have the heart or the guts to kill them🤣🤣
They are beautiful you can keep them like pets
chicken, an axe and a clay pot to cook it in!
Arent u coming to Mitrovica? 😓
I thought you were somewhere covid free until 1:50, I realize oh that's right....hmm anyway take care and I hope they dont eat those chickens, they are too pretty 😊😊
where is the rakia
Hey David this place is called Artanë where my mom is from, Novo Brd is Serbian and not the right name for this region.
To su mlade udavace za turiste injihove domaćine.
Come to over east godhavari I bet you will come twice
When are u coming back to Serbia?
💗🇦🇱🇽🇰🇦🇱💗
That’s why the place is called ARTANË!!! Because of the gold there “ari” not novo brd
come to New Zeland mate
👍👍👍👍🇧🇾❤️
Please come to tamil nadu in India in month of (may) ending or (june). I am waiting to welcome you
Dear americans and Europeans... this is Bio!!!!!
🇦🇱🌹❤️🇦🇱Artana Dardania❤️🇦🇱🌹
Oh my god, turkey ain't chicken, what do you mean ... The rooster makes "love" to chick. You did not translate correctly what the gentleman said Erjan.
I think Erjan he was meaning because of the size and the spots and not what the other guy said.
@@GenosGlory
In Kosovo the turkey is named "Quran" and in Albania "Gjel deti".
The Albanian of Kosovo can be a little bit different and the guy from Albania translated bad.
@@Legendoffairytail1 Thank you.
Barred chicken looks like barred rock chicken.
That’s what you eating in them restaurants David them chicken
💗🇦🇱🇽🇰💗
KALAJA or Keshtjella Artana and not Novoberda..
haahahahh Arjan it is not a turkey, it's a rooster! lol
Novo brdo, tu je najjaci srpski gen, kazu da ovi sipci ovde svi lice na Kraljevica Marka
Wrong place to speak gepsy language
@@eagleland7036 your right for the first time, the real place is albanian videos so go find it hahahahahahahhaah how stupid
@@nicksloter4908 you are a big joker, I will raise the Albanian flag in the middle of Belgrade and you will laugh well then
@@nicksloter4908 we will take away that part of the land that you have left
@@eagleland7036 i know i will laugh for sure when i see your face
You are becoming a real albanian by asking for the price about absolutely anything but still buying...nothing!😂
LoL 😆
Hey David appreciate you visit my country. Kosovo especially. Ferizaj n living in Kentucky but I think your translation is sucks . tell Hem to take you some good place not some shity place

@@محمد-ر4ش8ر shame on you
Srbija
Ovo je republik kosovo o quran shka
Novo Brdo is the Serbian king.s castle...Novo Brdo means NEW HILL on Serbian..It build by Stefan Uroš second,,Milutin in 1285 year..All castles, all churches and all monasteries, on KOSOVO,are Serbian and there about 1300 of them. That why Kosovo is holy land of Serbs. Unfortunately, before, during and after the NATO TERRORIST ATTACK, many churches were devastated and destroyed and now albanians appropriating them as their own. KOS-OVO its mean land where live blackbird ..METOHIJA is the land belongs monasteries..Full name that part of Serbia is ..KOSOVO I METOHIJA..KOSOVO IS SERBIA..HOLY LAND LIKE JERUSALEM FOR ISRAEL..DONT FORGET..Iff u steal frome someone..its a CURSE!!!!!
Bc serbs always tried putting sllavic names in Kosova
but serbia is albania
Nope it wasn't build by serbs stop lying it seems that your Serbian propaganda doesn't have boundaries
Sorry but the original name is NUOVOMONTE , that place has a 2000 year history , and a church from the 5th century built by the saxons , slavics by that time haven’t reached Europe yet. You were still in Carpathian Mountains by then.
