ooooo ma e mira ne bottt rita pse nuk jeton ne kosovvv<3
She was born in Prishtina, then that was Yugoslavia, but today that city is in SERBIA, because the state of Kosovo doesn’t exist! Don’t forget that!!!!
That’s not true! Kosovo does exist today. Don’t forget SERBIA wanted to occupy Pristina, but albanians didn’t let to do that! Jam shqiptare dhe i dime rrenjet tona!!!
Serbia didn’t want to “occupy” Pristina, they already had rights to the land and Kosovo was considered Serbian territory for a long time. There are still many countties in the world that font recognise Kosovo as an independent state. Also, even if you do consider Kosovo an indepentrovert state, that means that it is also separate from Albania. Which would that Kosovo stands on its own as a place where some Serbs and Albanians live.
And for the love of God, Serbs and Albanians need to stop arguing about this. No one else cares. Most people see Kosovo as a territory that Serbia recently owned or still owns. Arguing on the Internet will not change anyone’s mind.
She’s Muslim
And she’s white wtf lol she was born in Europe
Serbia is white Kosovo is white it’s white and she comes from a Muslim state .. Yes you can be white and actually born into Islam
She looks black
She is so gorgeous but there is no way this girl is entirely white,her parents must have a recessive black gene from the past which came out in Rita,failing that shes probably adopted but they look at her as their own biological child.
She’s not black. Europeans are very diverse. “White” people can have light olive complexions, dark hair and dark eyes. People from the Balkans have particularly diverse looks – some have very light skin and features, while others are much darker. There’s no standard, only false stereotypes.
lol both her mum and dad are from kosovo
Kosovo is Serbia!!!! How can you write ‘today Kosovo’ when Kosovo is part of Serbia, always been and always will be!!! And by the way, Kosovo is not its name, it is Kosovo i Metohija!!! So, open an atlas and look at it!!! Albanians are only living in Kosovo i Metohija, but that doesnt mean it’s their!!!! KOSOVO IS SERBIA
Angela! Didn’t the Staff forget to change her flag? According to the Other Wiki she’s fully English.
She’s actually of British citizenship. She moved to London when she was only a year old.
Damn you wrote Yugoslavia now Kosovo. first, Kosovo is only a region in a coutry Serbia. second, it’s not kosovo but Kosovo I Metohija. if ya dont believe me then look at geography atlas or anywhere else. Serbia owns Kosovo and Albanians only want to take it but they don’t own it
I love you huge fan your also very hot gorgeous as well 1 805 814 0028 Emmanuel E Dimaano from Port Hueneme Beach California now
