    Illyrian-Albanian Continuity on the Areal of Kosova 29 Illyrian-Albanian Continuity on the Areal of Kosova Jahja Drançolli* Abstract In the present study it is examined the issue of Illyrian- Albanian continuity in the areal of Kosova, a scientific problem, which, due to the reasons of daily policy, has extremely become exploited (harnessed) until the present days. The politicisation of the ancient history of Kosova begins with the Eastern Crisis, a time when the programmes of Great-Serb aggression for the Balkans started being drafted. These programmes, inspired by the extra-scientific history dressed in myths, legends and folk songs, expressed the Serb aspirations to look for their cradle in Kosova, Vojvodina. Croatia, Dalmatia, Bosnia and Hercegovina and Montenegro. Such programmes, based on the instrumentalized history, have always been strongly supported by the political circles on the occasion of great historical changes, that have overwhelmed the Balkans. Key Words: Dardania and Dardans in antiquity, Arbers and Kosova during the Middle Ages, geopolitical, ethnic, religious and cultural concepts, which are known in the sources of that time followed by a chronological development. The region of Kosova preserves archeological monuments from the beginnings of Neolith (6000-2600 B.C.). Since that time the first settlements were constructed, including Tjerrtorja (Prishtinë), Glladnica (Graçanicë), Rakoshi (Istog), Fafos and Lushta (Mitrovicë), Reshtan and Hisar (Suharekë), Runik (Skenderaj) etc. The region of Kosova has since the Bronze Age been inhabited by Dardan Illyrians; the territory of extension of this region was much larger than the present-day territory of Kosova. * Prof. Jahja Drançolli Ph.

Snoudon Daci Pristina 2012 Dear friends, The guide that you already have in your hands marks a very significant step towards documentation and presentation of our archeo- logical heritage. This guide is a short summary, but very important one that aims to offer explanations for some tens of archeological sites, from 400 of them identified in total in the territory of Kosovo until now, and registered in the List of Cultural Heritage for Temporary Protection of Republic of Kosovo. As such, the guide will serve as an informant for chosen locations and maybe the most important ones documented in Kosovo. This guide is dedicated to all group ages that are curious to know about abundant archeological heritage of our country. The guide is prepared in a chronological order starting from prehistory until the medieval period. The Archeological heritage of Kosovo, recorded until today, presents a very valuable treasure of our country. The archeological po- tential identified during the second part of the last century has been documented through variety of archeological research.

Kjo guidë është një përmbledhje e shkurtër, por mjaft e rëndësishme që synon të ofrojë shpjegime për disa dhjetëra lokalitete arkeologjike, nga rreth 400 gjithsej të evidentuara në territorin e Kosovës deri më tani dhe të regjistruara në Listën e Trashëgimisë Kulturore për Mbrojtje të Për­ kohshme të Republikës së Kosovës. Si e tillë, guida do të shërbej si një informator për lokalitetet e përzgjedhura e ndoshta më të rëndësishmet të dokumentuara në Kosovë. Kjo i dedikohet të gjitha grupmoshave që janë kureshtarë për të njohur trashëgiminë e pasur arkeologjike të ven­ dit tonë. Guida është e përgatitur në rrjedhë kronologjike, duke filluar nga parahistoria e deri në mesjetë. Trashëgimia arkeologjike e Kosovës e evidentuar deri më sot, paraqet një thesar të çmuar të vendit tonë. Potenciali arkeologjik iden­ tifikuar gjatë gjysmës së dytë të sheku llit të kaluar është dokumentuar përmes gjurmimeve të ndryshme arkeologjike.

Introduction: Area and Population Skënderaj/Srbica municipality is located in the north centre of Kosovo, south of Mitrovicë/Mitrovica municipality. The territory of the municipality is mostly a high, rolling plateau running westward from the foothills of the Qyqavica Mountains, with its highest peak at 1080 meters. It consists of 52 villages organised in 12 districts (Bashkia Lokale). Skënderaj/Srbica town is located on the road leading south to Gllogovc/Glogovac and along the main road from Mitrovicë/Mitrovica to Pejë/Peć. The municipality constitutes the core of the Drenica Valley, a region with a long history of Kosovo Albanian defiance to Serbian authority. The Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) was founded in this countryside and Skënderaj/Srbica has since been considered its stronghold. The military operations that took place in Prekaz i Ulët/Donji Prekaz in March 1998 represents a defining episode in the escalation of armed conflict in Kosovo. The target of the operation was the home of the KLA leader who today is considered a martyr by the Kosovo Albanian population. His home has been turned into a memorial that hosts hundreds of visitors from all over Kosovo. Violence increased considerably during the NATO bombing campaign and the systematic destruction of many villages, including 3,528 houses out of 8,518, according to United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) sources.

  • Parahistoria Dhe Historia Antike E Kosovës 5 Parahistoria Dhe Historia Antike E Kosovës
    Parahistoria dhe historia antike e Kosovës 5 Parahistoria dhe historia antike e Kosovës Edi Shukriu* Përmbledhje Territori i Kosovës ka ofruar material të konsiderueshëm arkeologjik, i cili, i kombinuar me të dhënat e burimeve të shkruara antike, mundëson konstatimin se banorët e parë të njohur të saj ishin ilirët (Herod. Historiae IV 49), rrjedhimisht dardanët, të krijuar nga gërshetimi i substratit neolitik dhe të adstratit eneolitik indoevropian. Formësimi i plotë i dardanëve u zhvillua gjatë epokës së hekurit (1200-400), kur dardanët krijuan territorin e tyre kompakt dhe i dhanë vendit emrin Dardania. Kosova përbënte territorin qendror të Dardanisë, e cila shtrihej në hapësirën midis lumenjve Vardar, Dri, Moravë dhe Timok.1 Zhvillimi paraurban dardan i shekujve VI-IV solli krijimin e shtetit dardan dhe bashkë me të dhe identitetin dardan, të ruajtur deri në periudhën bizantine. Fjalët kyç: territori Kosovës, materiali arkeologjik, substrati neolitik, adstrati eneolitik, Dardanët, epoka e hekurit, lumenjtë Vardar, Drini, Morava, Timok, identiteti dardan, periudha romake, labyrinthi dardan, krishterimi i hershëm, migrimet indo- europiane, shteti dardan, nekropolet tumulare të Kosovës. Parahistoria e Kosovës Kushtet e volitshme natyrore dhe pozita gjeografike mundësoi zhvillimin e jetës në Kosovë që në parahistorinë e hershme. Ndonëse stacionet shpellore nuk janë hulumtuar ende, duket se shpellat e shumta të Kosovës kanë qenë stacione banimi gjatë epokës së paleolitit dhe të mezolitit, si dëshmon rasti i stacionit shpellor të Radavcit afër Pejës dhe i gjetjeve në rajonet në fqinjësi. * Dr. Edi Shukriu, Profesor ordinar, Departamenti i Historisë, Fakulteti Filozofik, Universiteti i Prishtinës, Republika e Kosovës, [email protected] 1 Fanula Papazoglu, Srednjebalkanska plemena u predrimsko doba (Sarajevo, 1969), 143-161; Edi Shukriu, Dardania paraurbane (Pejë, 1996), 19 dhe literatura.

Increased forced minority returns from Western Europe in 2003 and the first months of 2004 continued to challenge the position held by UNHCR on the situation of ethnic minority groups.
