  • Against Legal Secression of Albanian Minors in Serbian
    ЕКОНОМИКА Vol. 63, october-december 2017, № 4 ISSN 0350-137X, EISSN 2334-9190, UDK 338 (497,1) P. 105-116 Dušan Jerotijević1 SCIENTIFIC REVIEW ARTICLE University Union “Nikola Tesla” Belgrade doi:10.5937/ekonomika1704105J Business and Law Faculty Received August, 01, 2017 Accepted: November, 30, 2017 AGAINST LEGAL SECRESSION OF ALBANIAN MINORS IN SERBIAN AUTONOMOUS KOSOVO AND METOHIJA AND ECONOMIC IMPLISATIONS Abstract National minorities in Yugoslavia after the Second World War experience different treatments. The German minority was almost completely evicted for participating in the war on the side of Nazi Germany. On the other hand, the Siptar minority (later Albanian) is expanding its living space to the expense of the Serbian people, which, even by legal acts, forbids return to the area from which Serbs were expelled in World War II. Albanians are given absolute authority on the territory of AP Kosovo and Metohija. At the same time, large numbers of Albanians from Albania are allowed to enter this region. Throughout the period since the end of the Second World War, the disappearance of Serbs from Kosovo and Metohija and some other areas where the Albanians were numerous has continued to this day. The constitutional legal development of the SFRY from 1946 to 1974 sets the legal basis for the break-up of Serbia. The last act of de facto separation of Kosovo and Metohija from Serbia was NATO aggression in 1999. Key words: national minorities, Kosovo and Metohija, Albanians, Serbia, NATO JEL Classification: ПРОТИВПРАВНА СЕЦЕСИЈА АЛБАНСКЕ МАЊИНЕ У СРПСКОЈ АУТОНОМНОЈ ПОКРАЈНИ КОСОВО И МЕТОХИЈА И ЕКОНОМСКЕ ИМЛИКАЦИЈЕ Апстракт Националне мањине у Југославији после Другог светског рата доживљавају различите третмане.

  • The Dayton Accords and the Escalating Tensions in Kosovo
    Berkeley Undergraduate Journal 68 THE DAYTON ACCORDS AND THE ESCALATING TENSIONS IN KOSOVO By Christopher Carson Abstract his paper argues that the Dayton Accords, which ended the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, were the primary cause of the outbreak of violence in Kosovo in 1998. While the Accords were regarded as successful in neighboring Bosnia, the agreement failed to mention the Texisting situation in Kosovo, thus perpetuating the ethnic tensions within the region. Following the Dayton Accords, the response by the international community failed to address many concerns of the ethnically Albanian population living in Kosovo, creating a feeling of alienation from the international political scene. Finally, the Dayton Accords indirectly contributed to the collapse of the Albanian government in 1997, creating a shift in the structure of power in the region. This destabilization triggered the outbreak of war between Serbs and Albanians in Kosovo the following year. The Dayton Accords 69 I. Introduction For many years, the territory of Kosovo functioned as an autonomous region within the state of Yugoslavia. During that time, Kosovo was the only Albanian-speaking territory within Yugoslavia, having been home to a significant Albanian population since its creation. The region also had a very important meaning for the Serb community, as it was the site of the Battle of Kosovo in 1389, which defined Serbian nationalism when Serbian forces were defeated by the Ottoman Empire. In the 1980s, tensions began to arise between the two communities, initially resulting in protests against the centralized government in Belgrade and arrests of Albanian Kosovars. Under the presidency of Slobodan Milošević, these ethnic tensions intensified both in Kosovo and elsewhere in Yugoslavia.

  • Kosovo: Background and U.S
    Kosovo: Background and U.S. Policy Updated March 11, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R46175 SUMMARY R46175 Kosovo: Background and U.S. Policy March 11, 2021 Kosovo, a country in the Western Balkans with a predominantly Albanian-speaking population, declared independence from Serbia in 2008, less than a decade after a brief but lethal war. It has Sarah E. Garding since been recognized by about 100 countries. The United States and most European Union (EU) Analyst in European Affairs member states recognize Kosovo. Serbia, Russia, China, and various other countries (including five EU member states) do not. Key issues for Kosovo include the following: New Leadership. Albin Kurti is poised to become prime minister for the second time after his left-leaning Self-Determination Party (Vetëvendosje) won a landslide victory in early parliamentary elections in February 2021. The poll was Kosovo’s second snap parliamentary election in less than two years. Once of the new parliament’s initial responsibilities is to elect the country’s next president. Acting President Vjosa Osmani, whose candidacy is backed by Vetëvendosje, is heavily favored to win. Parliament’s failure to elect a president could trigger early parliamentary elections, however. Dialogue with Serbia. The unresolved dispute between Kosovo and Serbia is one of the main threats to regional stability in the Western Balkans. Since 2011, the EU has facilitated a dialogue aimed at normalizing their relations. In July 2020, Kosovo and Serbia returned to EU-led talks after a 20-month suspension. Shortly thereafter, the two parties agreed to new measures on economic cooperation at talks hosted by the White House.

Theoretically, it should have covered “all” areas, but the current Kosovo statistical system is non all- inclusive. Kosovo Statistical Office (SOK) is planning to have this publication annually published in the future. The aim of this publication is that the basic statistical data on social and economic situation in Kosovo be available to a large number of readers. Users who need more detailed statistical data or information on available publications, as well as want to get familiar with the SOK activities, can find more information on the SOK website: www.ks-gov.net/esk. The said project is a continuous contribution and work of Distribution Statistics staff headed by the Senior Officer on horizontal publications, Drita Sylejmani and the Distribution Manager, Servete Muriqi. The statistical data presented in this publication originate from SOK surveys, as well as other data produced by the departments of production statistics.
