Agricultural Sector and am impressed by the resilience of our rural family farmers, the foundation of our agriculture and rural economy. It is because of this strength that Kosovan farming has survived the tragic events of the last decade and is now emerging from the recent emergency phase of international assistance. Now at the beginning of what we see as the development phase, I have directed my staff to put in place a policy framework which will encourage Kosovan farmers to transpose that resilience and those strengths into a new free-market and competitive environment. This Greenbook is the result of that endeavour and has been developed with the extensive collaboration of all stakeholders. It sets out my initial policy objectives for the rural sector and is intended to be a user friendly and evolving document that stakeholders in the Kosovan Agricultural Sector can use to gain an accurate understanding of the policy vision of the Ministry.

    ISSN 2410-3918 Academic Journal of Business, Administration, Law and Social Sciences Vol. 3 No. 3 Acces online at www.iipccl.org IIPCCL Publishing, Graz-Austria November 2017 Kosovo education development in Albanian language during the years 1878- 1918 Assoc. Prof. Dr. Fahredin Shabani University ”Ukshin Hoti”, Prizren - Kosovo PhD Artan Reshani University ”Ukshin Hoti”, Prizren - Kosovo Abstract Albania has one of the most specifi c histories, amonng all European Nations. Albanians have found themselves under the pressure of diff erent wars for centuries, but it did not prevent them to create a rich tradition, in all aspects of life, especially in culture and education. During the National Renaissance, patriots and pedagogues considered education and culture as important factors for the nation's progress, but also as a means for its unity and the preservation of national unity in the struggle under the constant eff orts of neighboring chauvinists to disintegrate it. Aft er the partially – realized aspirations for a free and independent Albania, only two paths were left for Albania in London Conference of 1913: continuation of the armed struggle and cultivation of the Albanian language at schools, which would undoubtedly lead to the rise of national conscience, under the idea that"... the light of the knowledge will take us ahead ...". It was the lack of a common alphabet. For this reason, on the initiative of the Manastiri Club, the Congress of Manastiri was convened, which opened new paths. In Kosovo, the challenges of learning the Albanian language and the continuation of resistance during the years 1878-1912 were oriented towards the preservation of their being and national identity; the pursuit of liberation eff orts and the path towards independence and national unity.

    KOSOVO COMMUNITIES PROFILES 2010 KOSOVO COMMUNITIES PROFILES ope ganization for Security and Or Co-operation in Eur Mission in Kosovo Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe Mission in Kosovo KOSOVO COMMUNITIES PROFILES Foreword by the Head of the OSCE Mission in Kosovo Foreword by the OSCE High Commissioner on National Minorities Introduction Table Of Contents Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe Mission in Kosovo Foreword by the Head of the OSCE Mission in Kosovo Dear reader, Welcome to the second edition of the Organization for Security and Co- operation in Europe Mission in Kosovo (OSCE) Communities Profiles.T he protection and promotion of community rights, as well as the monitoring of community rights compliance by Kosovo institutions, continues to be one of the OSCE Mission’s key activities. One of the challenges to building sustainable peace in Kosovo remains the lack of recognition and understanding of non-majority communities’ distinct attributes, needs and concerns, by broader society, local institutions and international stakeholders. In order to contribute to enhancing knowledge among its interlocutors, the OSCE Mission published in 009 the first Communities Profiles, incorporating demographic, socio-economic, political and cultural data on Kosovo Serbs, Kosovo Turks, Kosovo Bosniaks, Kosovo Croats, Kosovo Montenegrins, Gorani, Roma, Ashkali, Egyptians and Kosovo Albanians (in the municipalities where they constitute the minority). The success of the 009 edition, which generated a great amount of positive feedback among the OSCE Mission’s interlocutors within and outside of Kosovo, has been a crucial motivator for a second edition. The 00 Communities Profiles, expanding upon the data collected, offer an even more comprehensive and detailed picture of the challenges affecting Kosovo’s non-majority communities’ enjoyment of their rights.
