The links in this section provide information about visiting Kosovo. You should note, however, that "GoKosovo.co" is an independent corporation, organized by several students, which presently is inactive. Likewise, the website, www.gokosovo.com, is inactive. So the information provided here is useful to those who might want to go to Kosovo on their own. There are no GoKosovo tours.
