  • ABSTRACT MULAJ, DENIZA. Navigating the Bridge
    ABSTRACT MULAJ, DENIZA. Navigating the Bridge: An Ethnographic Study of Kosovar-Albanian and Serbian Youth Living in the Divided City of Mitrovica, Kosova (Under the guidance of Dr. Shea McManus). This study shows that the daily challenges experienced by the Kosovar-Albanian and Serbian youth are a result of the discord between the projected and real conditions in which they live. The living conditions as projected by international peacebuilding and reconciliation initiatives portray Mitrovica as a post-war society. In contrast, the real conditions experienced by youth render their society a space that produces the same psychological and physical effects of the Kosova-Serbia war. Nonetheless, this study argues that a minority of Kosovar-Albanian and Serbian youth overcome the social barriers of living divided by using NGO projects to escape and create impartial spaces to socialize. While the youth stand as the center of my research, the goal of this paper is not only to show the challenges they go through, but to first and foremost address and analyze the source of these struggles. Standing in a particular historical and temporal frame, it is the Kosovar-Albanian and Serbian youth that display the challenges of living in a divided society, together with the limitations of reconciliation and peacebuilding initiatives. My findings show that fear of ethnic conflict is reproduced by initiatives that physically divide people, namely the militarization of the Ibër Bridge. Further, it demonstrates that despite the willingness of youth to socialize, memories of war cultivated and upheld by their respective communities further strengthen the fear of inter-ethnic conflicts.

After the end of the conflict, that saw the departure of the Serbian forces from Kosovo (1999), some of the Albanian-speaking activists from Switzerland returned to their homeland. Many others remained in Switzerland, where they largely diminished or terminated their homeland engagement. Since the end of the war, very little attention has been paid to these former champions of the national cause in Switzerland. Furthermore, there is also very little literature on the memories of the mobilisation in Switzerland and the related discourses of belonging to the “Albanian nation”. The situation differs in Kosovo where several researchers have analysed the memorialisation of the recent past. This dissertation explores the narratives of homeland engagement related by Albanian-speaking former activists who engaged on behalf of the national cause in Kosovo from Switzerland in the 1980s and 1990s.
