Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the organizing committee, it is a great pleasure for me to invite you to the I^st Congress of the Kosova Society of Orthopaedics and Trauma Surgeons (KSOTS) that will be held between the dates 13 and 15 May 2010 in Victory Hotel, Prishtina, Kosovo. The location of the hotel is essential to create a warm atmosphere providing you and your family with a unique location making it enjoyable for every one of you.

Prishtina is the capital and the largest city of Kosova, it and its suburbs have a total population of over 700,000. It is the administrative, economical, and cultural center of Kosova. The area of Prishtina has a long history, in its vincity archaeological discoveries have been found which date back to the early neolithical ages. Southeast of the city, the remains of Ulpiana were discovered, the center of the Illyrian province of Dardania. Ulpiana was founded in the 2nd century during the rule of Emperor Trajan, and renewed in the 6th century during the rule of Justinian, after whom it was called Iustinana Secunda. According to inscriptions on the monuments from Ulpiana, it is apparent that it was one of the most beautiful cities of the Illyrian Dardania, as it was often reffered to as Ulpiana Splendissima. A number of articles were discovered here such as coins, ceramics, weapons, jewlery, all of which are exhibited at the Museum of History of Kosova in Prishtina.

I invite all of you to send your abstracts and to attend our I^st Congress.

We hope to see you in Prishtina May 2010.
