I interview Teouta Luri, a Kosovar & ethnic Albanian who was born in Yugoslavia in 1976.
She is the daughter of a prominent Yugoslav politician.
We discuss:
- Why Tito was the most popular dictator ever.
- Why Milosovic's policies inadvertently brought on civil war.
- Why she thought getting married and having a baby in the middle of a war was a brilliant idea.
- Why Albanians love the USA more than anyone else.
- Whether women in Kosovo are more or less liberated than American women.
- Her first impressions of the USA.
- Whether there is an accent between Kosovars and Albanians.
Why did I sometimes interrupt and talk over Teouta?
Two reasons:
1. Teouta and I talked enough before the interview that I felt comfortable enough to talk with her like I talked with Sym Blanchard. I was comfortable enough to allow for natural banter to develop.
2. Like my interviews with Sym, we were in the same room with two separate microphones, so that makes it much easier to read body language and not have to deal with the lag that comes when you interview someone remotely (via Skype/Zoom).
