The country is home to some of the friendliest and most hospitable people in the world, always ready to help visitors and talk with tourists about their beautiful country.
  
  Despite its small size, Kosovo is most well-known for having some of the most spectacular natural landscapes of the Balkans. Most of them are situated in the western area of the country, near the Montenegrin border, and particularly in the Rugova Valley, a fantastic natural area with lush forests, high peaks, and beautiful panoramas.
