Landing in Dominica was a challenge as the runway runs directly along the beach and square in between the sea (which wouldn’t be so great to land it) and the mountainous terrain of the island (also not so great to land in!). This may sound beautiful and indeed it is. However, the steep approach needed for landing does not match up well with the strong crosswinds created by this environment.
Once on the island, my day in Dominica was very productive. I was able to meet with two newspapers – the SUN and the Chronicle. The local television station, Marpin 2K4, was able to get some great footage at the airport. They were all very helpful and knowledgeable about the history of Kosovo and wanted to present some quality coverage of our mission.
The Ministry of Foreign Relations were also very receptive and admitted that our independence is a ‘work in progress’ and that they are watching the situation closely.
As with the other Caribbean Islands, I continue to be impressed with the friendliness of the people and their knowledge of our country. On the way out of the country, the airport employees admitted that they enjoyed watching the television coverage of our great mission.
