In September 2004 Prospektor filmed a disconcerting documentary about Kosovo. Five years after the international intervention. 'Amsterdam - Kosovo' is a report about the ongoing problems in the Serbian province of Kosovo. Five years after the NATO-intervention Prospektor travels through a disunited region of former Yugoslavia in an ambulance. During their trip they find out the region is still facing severe ethnic tensions. Young Albanian and Serbian Kosovars talk about their daily problems, their expectations and disillusionments. "Serbs live in fear, just like us in the past", says Spent, a former UCK-soldier. Or Serbian Ivana: "I belief Albanians and Serbs can live together in a democratic country, but it seems they are afraid to step forward and speak their mind about it." The documentary was broadcasted by IKON in September 2004 and was selected for several filmfestivals, among others the Tribeca Filmfestival in New York, 2005. 'Amsterdam - Kosovo' is a Prospektor – IKON co-production.


In september 2004 filmde Prospektor een onthutsende documentaire over Kosovo, vijf jaar na de internationale interventie. Amsterdam-Kosovo is een verslag over de voordurende problematiek in de Servische provincie Kosovo. Vijf jaar na de NAVO-interventie reist Prospektor in een ambulance naar het verscheurde gebied in voormalig Joegoslavië. Tijdens hun reis komen ze erachter dat het gebied nog altijd geteisterd wordt door etnische spanningen. Jonge Albanese en Servische Kosovaren praten over hun dagelijkse problemen, hun verwachtingen en desillusies. "Serven leven in angst, net als wij in het verleden", aldus Spent, een voormalige UCK-soldaat. Of de Servische Ivana: "Ik geloof in Albanezen die samen met Serven in een democratisch land kunnen wonen, maar het lijkt erop dat zij bang zijn om hier voor uit te komen." De documentaire is uitgezonden door de IKON in september 2004 en in cultureel centrum De Balie in Amsterdam. Amsterdam - Kosovo werd genomineerd voor het Tribeca Film Festival in New York, 2005. Amsterdam - Kosovo is een co-productie van Prospektor en de IKON
