It's a very safe city and people help if they see you being harrased or something, though the chances of that happening are low. But it's never bad to be precautious. I have lived here my entire life and i've only once been touched inappropiately by a guy, and the people around didn't hesitate to help right away.

Tringë
Gjilan
Gjilan is a relatively safe city with nice people. It mostly contains families that have lived there for a long time. Most people know each other or have common friends and families. People are kind and welcoming! Crime rates mostly concern young men that get involved in illegal activities and hang out with the wrong people.

Pristina
Prishtina is a very safe place to live, visit, go out, walk. It is the capitol city of Kosova so it has a lot of coffee shops, restorants, bars and clubs that you can visit, and if you dont like that walking around and visiting the old part of the city and the square and the center part is also very interesting. You can visit Old coty of Ulpiana which is very close to Prishtina, but also other cities like Prizren, Gjakova for the old town and also Peja for the wonderful nature.

Pristina, Family travel
I would not recommend solo travel. Its a safe space for families tho! Very nice people. You should know a local to show around, that would make it safer. Pristina mall was very fun with lots of activities!
