City in Kosovo
About Gjakova
It was established as a trading town, sporting the largest bazaar in the Balkans, calledÇarshia e Madhe(theGrand Bazaar). The tradesmanship spirit and some of the trades practiced still remain in the city. The city is centrally located in theDukagjin Valleyof western Kosovo, equal distance between the cities ofPrizrento the south andPejato the north. It also has a historic link to the Gjakova Highlands, now across the border in northern Albania. The townspeople pride themselves in their sense of town music practised, humour and sarcasm which distinguish it from the rest of Kosovo and enforce the local character. Gjakova has contributed several important leaders to the history of Kosovo, such as World War II partisan and post-war leader Fadil Hoxha and communist Yugoslav Presidency Chairman
