27 years from Serbia's violent measures at UP

After about 20 years of successful work by the University of Pristina, the 1989-1990s marked the beginning of unstoppable Serbian efforts to destroy higher education in Kosovo.

With Slobodan Milosevic's arrival at Serbia's helm, the Albanian school in Kosovo, in particular the University of Pristina, received major shocks that led to serious threats, with the extent of the destruction of Albanian education. Serbian nationalist power committed to changing and stopping the Albanian chacle in Kosovo.

The situation at the university came with a deterioration, along with the situation throughout Kosovo. The University Centre was no longer the refuge of students or Albanian professors. Once the 1990/91 summer semester was closed on 28 June 1991 on Vidovdan Day, Serbia's Assembly imposed violent measures at Pristina University.

During the new academic year, the violent leader, dominated by the Serbian-malazi cadres, increased the number of students for 923 students, mainly Serb students brought from different parts of Serbia and Montenegro. On 21 August 1991 the Helsinki group in Vienna issued a statement stating that Albanian education in Kosovo no longer exists and that it has been destroyed by Serbia. But, at the beginning of 1992, opportunities and forms are intended for the Albanian school to become active.

On February 14, 1992, Pristina University reports that on February 17th of this year, teaching in home schools would begin.
