• • •Islam in Kosovo has a long standing tradition dating back to the Ottoman conquest of the Balkans, including Kosovo.
•Before the Battle of Kosovo in 1389, the entire Balkan region had been Christianized by both the Roman and Byzantine Empires.
•From 1389 until 1912, Kosovo was officially governed by the Muslim Ottoman Empire and, as such, a high level ofIslamization occurred.
•During the time period after World War II, Kosovo was ruled by secular socialist authorities in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY).
•During that period, Kosovars became increasingly secularized.
•Today, 90% of Kosovo's population is at least nominally Muslim, most of whom are Albanian.[1]

• Filigree (formerly written filigrann or filigrane; also known as telkari, the name given in Anatolia, meaning "wire work", andcift-isi, pronounced chift-ishi, meaning "tweezers work") is a jewel work of a delicate kind made with twisted threads usually ofgold and silver or stitching of the same curvy motif. It oftens suggests lace, and is most popular in French fashion decoration from 1660 to the present. It is now exceedingly common for ajoure jewellery work to be mislabeled as filigree. While both have many open areas, filigree involves threads being soldered together to form an object and ajoure involves holes being punched, drilled, or cut through an existing piece of metal.

In the final years of the 20th century, terrible news came from the centre of South-East Europe and spread rapidly around the world: a humanitarian catastrophe was causing the loss of thousands of lives, large-scale population displacement, deep human suffering and widespread material destruction throughout the territory of Kosovo.
During and after the armed conflict, cultural monuments of outstanding historical significance in Kosovo were the focus of hatred and revenge. While some were destroyed or seriously damaged, others were under threat and required protective intervention by the international military forces…
For UNESCO, the protection of cultural heritage is a value in itself but it also can serve other positive purposes. In particular, having once been the focus of intense bitterness, cultural heritage may play a useful role in the re-establishment and maintenance of peaceful relations between different communities. Indeed, the protection of cultural heritage is a domain where increased trust and understanding between communities may be constructed and where different parties may exchange signals of respect and responsibility that can help to build a sense of mutual confidence….
I hereby appeal to Governments, international organizations and donors from the private sector to lend their help and join forces with UNESCO in order to restore and protect the invaluable cultural treasures of Kosovo which many generations of inspired artists and craftsmen have left as a legacy to humankind.
