Muslims in Kosovo are observing the holy month of Ramadan with the traditional fast from dawn until sundown. In the capital, Pristina, a number of charity organizations and international donors have set up communal dining tents where believers can come together and share a free dinner for iftar, the meal that breaks the fast at the day's end.
