OjodePez edition about Kosovo

The Spanish photography magazine has devoted its current edition to Kosovo. It's edited by Andrew Testa. Below is a description of the magazine and a picture by Testa.

OjodePez
OjodePez is a photography magazine which aims to fill
an important gap in the present editing
market of documentary image worlwide.
OjodePez publishes photographic features
that have not been published in other media
(well, we really try hard, but even in Ojodepez
the picture editors some times prefer to
play winner numbers, sorry).
For every issue of OjodePez, a professional working in the field
of graphic arts is invited to
select and edit a group of photographical works.
Each feature is accompanied by a text reflecting
on the reality brought up by the pictures.

The caption reads:

Kosovo, Gjakova, 30th August 2005

A girl collapses during a mass burial of Kosovo Albanian civilians who were killed during the war in 1999 by Serbian forces and transported in mass graves in Batajnica, near the Serbian capital Belgrade.

Back

The new year is here. All the crazy stuff that has been going on in the world makes me think it is alread an old year. I would single out the cocaine bust, which was made possible by the cooperation of the Montenegrin, Kosovar and Macedonian customs services. Anyway, it is amazing how a cargo of cocaine can go from Venezuela through, Spain and Italy to Greece without being noticed. And all this organized by a woman (Stanislava Čočorovski Poletan) that runs her 'business' in her apartment in Belgrade. Kudos to the people that cought it.
