27 years from July 2nd Constitutional Declaration

On this historic day, Kosovo has been declared a special entity, within the then Yugoslav federation.

The Constitutional Declaration of July 2nd 1990 was the act that will mark the historic institutional step of Kosovo's independence, which was carried out outside the parliament's object, in terms of siege by major police and military forces.
