Rajeev,

I wouldn't suggest this is a prime time to take a holiday in Kosovo.
Visiting friends or colleagues is one thing, but pure "war tourism" can be
dangerous if you are not well enough informed of the dangers (areas that
still have landmines or unexploded ordinance, certain ethnic enclaves that
become flashpoints and stone passing cars or block roads, etc.). While
visiting Kosovo could be an extremely educational and valuable experience, I
would suggest you only go if you make arrangements with someone who is
familiar with the current situation on the ground to be your guide.

I don't want to put anyone off the idea of visiting, because there are some
very beautiful, historical and educational  experiences to be had. But I
would strongly advise caution to those who have not been in the area, and
are not familiar with the reality on the ground. With a little help, you
could have a great time, just be careful.
