00:00At the beginning, I had the desire to be the victim of the last wave.
00:08And my Kosovo will develop exactly as we imagined.
00:18I found a lot of slides. I don't know what was in them, but after I scanned them, I understood.
00:24Because this is a photograph that...
00:29At the same time, it is recorded with a timer.
00:32It's like ten minutes, until it's done.
00:37And as a result, it comes out like this.
00:40It's one of the coolest photographs we have ever made together.
00:46I was very anxious, like you.
00:49I was afraid that I would lose my job.
00:52I kept thinking about what had happened.
00:56But...
00:57Continuous work, work, work, work.
01:00Until that day, until that night,
01:03after four months of work,
01:06I realized that it was a disaster.
01:13At that time, 2000 was a very long year for us.
01:16We wanted to celebrate Christmas for that time.
01:19Recep was an instructor, an author,
01:23he was the engine of the plan.
01:27And that plan for all urban planning had failed during the war,
01:32that we had for the needs of peace.
01:36If a good architect comes,
01:38he wants to know if a large object will be built,
01:41to realize, to build,
01:44what he has built.
01:49All those who rule the city,
01:51must understand that the city will be destroyed one day.
01:55This is one of the situations of Recep,
01:57that he found in the settlement of Mrefti.
02:00Recep was an architect and an urbanist.
02:04He was born in 2000 in Pristina.
