"It was easy to adapt to life in Turkey since I was born in Prizren, which has a large Turkish population and a rich history of Ottoman traditions," says Bala. "Whenever I tell Turks that I am from Kosovo, they welcome me warmly with the response 'bizim toprak' (our land)."
„Bilo je lako prilagoditi se životu u Turskoj, s obzirom da sam rođen u Prizrenu koji ima veliku tursku populaciju i bogatu istoriju otomanske tradicije“, kaže Bala. „Svaki put kada kažem Turcima da sam sa Kosova, oni me srdačno pozdrave rečima 'bizim toprak' (naša zemlja).“
