After a long history of turmoil in The Balkan Peninsula, including the Kosovo War that began in the mid 90′s, Kosovo has been plagued by a massive shortage of medical support and supplies. In 2008, the Republic of Kosovo declared independence, but the acknowledgment and legality of said independence remains heavily disputed by many nations, including Serbia.
A year ago today, October 17, 2011, Filipi founded the organization 28.Jun and launched their first major humanitarian project, Boj za Kosovo (Struggle for Kosovo), geared at sending medical supplies to Kosovo.
