in
Ferizaj,
Kosovo
Ferizaj
has
been
populated
since
the
prehistoric
era
by
the
Starčevo,
Vinča
and
Baden
culture.
During
the
Ottoman
period,
Ferizaj
served
as
a
trading
center
on
the
route
between
Belgrade
and
Thessaloniki.
Ferizaj
has
always
been
considered
as
a
city
where
tolerance
and
coexistence
in
terms
of
religion
and
culture
has
been
part
of
the
society
in
the
last
centuries.
During
and
after
the
Kosovo
War
in
1999,
the
US
Army
base
Camp
Bondsteel
was
established
outside
of
the
city,
now
being
used
by
forces
belonging
to
KFOR.
It
is
the
largest
and
the
most
expensive
foreign
military
base
built
by
the
Americans
in
South
Eastern
Europe,
since
the
Vietnam
War
Ferizaj
is
located
in
the
south-eastern
part
of
Kosovo,
about
halfway
between
the
cities
of
Pristina
and
Skopje.
It
is
some
230
kilometres
north-east
of
Tirana,
55
kilometres
north
of
Skopje,
300
kilometres
west
of
Sofia,
35
kilometres
south
of
Pristina
and
300
kilometres
east
of
Podgorica.
Ferizaj
is
also
known
for
a
geographic
phenomenon
known
as
river
bifurcation.
The
Nerodime
river
is
divided
into
two
branches
and
both
flow
into
two
different
seas.
This
phenomenon
is
exclusively
seen
in
nature
in
this
example,
and
that
of
the
river
Casiquiare,
Brazil.
