[Prishtina-E] cat stevens and kosova

[Etrit Bardhi]

hi, it was interesting reading an interview with a well-known british
singer cat stevens, where he refers to Kosova by writing it with an A, as
in Kosova, and not Kosovo.   I have noticed that the web site
www.centraleurope.com sometimes uses Kosova instead of Kosovo,
interesting...   Btw, Cat Stevens was stopped by the Macedonian police
while trying to cross the border into Albania during the NATO bombing and
taken the money he intended to give to the refugees.  I don't know if he
ever received it back from the Macedonians...

Here's an excerpt from his interview:

My first album after seventeen years of silence was released in 1995
entitled, The Life of The Last Prophet. To date it has sold over 300,000
copies. For those who have heard it, I believe it has made a
difference. As far as my charity work is concerned, it is part of my faith
as a Muslim to try to help those who are suffering from poverty or
economic or political injustice. It's very difficult to ignore
humanitarian disasters, such as we've seen in Bosnia, Kosova and
Mozambique. The royalties from my albums continue to support my charity
work. At the present time we're looking after thousands of orphans who are
the innocent victims of recent wars. We are trying to help those who have
survived and have no parents, we can't do anything about those who have
been killed.
