Big Bird in Kosovo

Twenty-six special episodes of Sesame Street will air in Kosovo as a way
to promote ethnic diversity among children. The series, which is essential seen by children worldwide now, first
came to the region in 2004. The new episodes, which will broadcast in both Serbian and Albanian
languages, will combine footage from the series featuring the beloved Muppets with footage shot in the region.
Kids fell in love with the series when it premiered there two years ago, and it was also praised for promoting respect
among different ethnic groups. Maybe we could actually achieve world peace if we all just watched Sesame
Street all day. At least up to the point when the Grover supporters wage an attack on the Cookie Monster
sympathizers. Then the whole mess just starts over again.
