The outlines of the recent history of Kosovo are, no doubt, familiar to the readers of this journal. A story that may be less familiar to readers, however, is that of the Trepčan industrial complex and its potential role in the peace process. The international community’s efforts to revitalise this key facility illustrate not only the challenges faced in building peace in Kosovo and the Balkans, but also the potential value of an integrated, multi-disciplinary, multi-partner approach to peace building. In particular, the story of Trepča highlights the under-appreciated value of
economic regeneration as part of the processes of peace-building and democratisation. The story of Trepčan illustrates the challenges which face regeneration and also the complex linkages between revitalisation and peace-building. Trepča is, as yet, an unfinished story, but it is one that we can learn from today.

Pre nekoliko dana obeležena je još jedna godišnjica znamenitih protesta koji su se odigrali 9. marta 1991. godine, tokom koje značajan deo javnosti u Srbiji preispituje dokle se stiglo u izgradnji građanskog demokratskog društva, da li uopšte ima ikakvog napretka, uspeha, koji su sledeći koraci i da li se uopšte vredi boriti za izgradnju istog. Posmatrajući sam događaj sa sad već značajne istorijske distance, trenutna dešavanja na političkoj sceni naše zemlje podstakla su me da posatvim drugo, po mom mišljenju zanimljivo pitanje: Kakvu ulogu su odigrali studenti u protestima od kojih je prošlo već 34 godine?

The paper outlines the political crisis of 1971, which significantly impacted the adoption of the Constitutional Amendments of that year and the 1974 Constitution. Alongside the perpetual economic disputes among the republics -investments, pricing, foreign currency exchange, banking, and economic relations with foreign countries, all elements of the economic system -the beginning of 1971 was marked by a political crisis of trust. Allegations emerged that Vladimir Bakarić had corresponded with Croatian Ustaše, a false claim reportedly fabricated by federal authorities. Tito initially took control of the situation; however, when the commission he appointed failed to conduct a thorough investigation, another commission was formed under the Federal Government, which determined that the federal authorities had committed no wrongdoing. Meanwhile, Croatian leaders threatened to withdraw from federal institutions. When it was established that the federal authorities bore no fault, Tito hesitated to make this public, as doing so would have openly questioned the functioning and survival of Yugoslavia. The matter was declared a state secret, but mistrust persisted. Foreign intelligence agencies closely monitored the entire political process, aware that something significant was occurring, though unable to predict its outcome.

To support their political goals, the Albanian political and scientific elite in Kosovo strives to find something in every significant example from international public law that would significantly support their aspirations. Historical science was engaged in this task previously. Its conclusions are disseminated among the Albanian population by the very influential press in Pristina. It makes these articles easily accessible for reading and access by the Serbian community as well. Of course, this is a one-way communication. There is no response or polemic with the appropriate scientists and experts who would refute these positions. In this way, indoctrination is also directed towards the Serbian population, as well. It seems that this is precisely where the fundamental weakness of their aspirations lies. Because they are of an absolute, uncompromising character and basically propagate violence as the only means to achieve these goals. That is why the task entrusted to historical science is quasi-scientific, its methods are quasi-scientific, and so are the conclusions. But all of this greatly endangers the Serbian people and the Serbian Orthodox Church in Kosovo.

Bu çalışma, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu ile Kore’nin Joseon Krallığı (Ciyūson) arasındaki dolaylı ilişkileri ve bu iki kültürün, farklı coğrafi ve siyasi koşullar altında gerçekleştirdiği temasları Osmanlı arşiv belgeleri ve dönemin matbuat kaynakları üzerinden ele almayı amaçlamaktadır. Osmanlı’nın Qing İmparatorluğu ile sınırlı düzeyde gelişen ilişkileri, Kore’nin Qing’in bir vassalı olması dolayısıyla doğrudan temas kurulmasını engellemiştir. Buna rağmen Osmanlı belgelerinde Kore ve çevresine dair kayda değer gözlemler bulunmaktadır. Çalışmanın merkezinde, Uzakdoğu’ya seyahatte bulunmuş dönemin önemli aydın ve yazarlarından olan Abdurreşid İbrahim ve Adil Hikmet Bey’in gözlemleri yer almaktadır. Bu aydınların seyahatnameleri temel alınarak, Kore toplumunun sosyal yapısı, kültürel değerleri ve halkın geleneklerine dair önemli çıkarımlar sunulmaktadır. Özellikle, Abdurreşid İbrahim ve Adil Hikmet Bey’in Joseon toplumuna yönelik gözlemleri, Osmanlı nezdinde Kore’nin nasıl algılandığını ve bu temasların Osmanlı aydınları üzerindeki etkisini ortaya koymaktadır. Osmanlı ve Joseon toplumlarının birbiriyle kurduğu bu dolaylı ilişki, kurumsal temelde bir diplomatik anlam içermiyor olsa da kültürel anlamda karşılıklı bir ilginin ve etkilenmenin izlerini taşımaktadır. Çalışma, bu izlenimlerin arka planındaki unsurları ve Osmanlı aydınlarının Joseon toplumuna yönelik merakını inceleyerek, iki kültür arasındaki dolaylı temasların, Osmanlı gözünden nasıl şekillendiğini değerlendirmeyi hedeflemektedir.

This study examines the indirect relations between the Ottoman Empire and the Joseon Kingdom of Korea (Ciyūson), as well as the interactions between these cultures under different geographical and political conditions, based on Ottoman archival documents and press sources. Limited Ottoman relations with the Qing Empire hindered direct contact with Korea, as Korea was a Qing vassal. Despite this, notable observations on Korea and its surroundings are found in Ottoman records. Central to the study are the observations of prominent intellectuals and writers who traveled to the Far East, Abdurreshid İbrahim and Adil Hikmet Bey. Their travel accounts provide significant insights into Korean society, cultural values, and traditions. Particularly, their observations reveal how Korea was perceived in the Ottoman context and the influence of these interactions on Ottoman intellectuals. Though these indirect relations lacked formal diplomatic significance, they reflect mutual cultural interest and influence. The study aims to explore the underlying factors behind these impressions and assess how indirect interactions between the two cultures were shaped from the Ottoman perspective.

One of my unforgettable trips in the Balkans was to Kosovo during the Balkan War, accompanied by one of my Iranian friends. Kosovo, located in the south of former Yugoslavia, was under the rule of the Ottoman Turks for 624 years until a movement of Albanian intellectuals pressured the Istanbul government, allowing Kosovo to gain independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1912. Turkey’s influence in the Balkans, especially in Kosovo, is closely related to the entry of the Turkish army and its active role in the region of Peja in southern Kosovo, where approximately 30,000 ethnic Turks also reside.
The First Balkan War during the same period of Kosovo's independence from the Ottomans caused the region to fall under the influence of Yugoslavia, and during World War I, Bulgarians and Austrians ruled the area for a brief time. Tito's regime in former Yugoslavia also exerted significant pressure on the ethnic Turks of Kosovo, forcing around 246,000 of them to migrate to Turkey between 1945 and 1966.

The document examines the historical relationship between Bosnia and Raška in the early Middle Ages. It references the Byzantine-Hungarian War and the Battle of Tara in 1151, in which the Bosnian Ban Kulin fought against Byzantine Emperor Manuel I Komnenos and severely wounded him. These events mark an important period in the political and military history of this region.
The first mentions of the Serbs come from the Frankish Annals, which document the military activities of the Franks against the Avars. In 789, the already Christianized Frisians and some Slavs known as the Suurbi joined the Frankish forces to fight the Avars. Historical records show that the Slavs had settled in the region 200 years before the Frankish-Avar war and had joined the Avars’ military service.
In recent years, Serbian historians have attempted to establish a continuity link to the Vinci culture, Lepenski Vir, the Tribali, Sarmatians, and Dardanians. The Tribali were a Thracian people who lived in modern southern Serbia and adjacent areas, experiencing the influence of the Celts and Illyrians.
The Sarmatians, a confederated group of Iranian cavalry peoples, were mentioned in various ancient sources and were widespread in the Roman Empire. The Dardanians lived in the regions of present-day Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, and Serbia, and were another Illyrian people. However, it is argued that there are no direct connections between the Suurbi and these ancient peoples.
The region of Raška is first mentioned in the 6th century and was a significant Illyrian center, associated with the ancient site of Arsa. Raška includes parts of present-day Serbia, Montenegro, and Bosnia, and has a complex history that involves various peoples and cultures.
During Roman rule, the area was known as Dardania, and the Dardanians lived there. Archaeological findings suggest that the region was settled long before the Roman conquest. The discovery of early Christian churches and necropolises in the region shows the religious and cultural diversity that existed over the centuries.
In the 11th century, Raška fell under Bulgarian control before being incorporated into the Byzantine Empire in 1018. The region was a center of military and political struggles, as evidenced by the constant wars between the Byzantines and the Bulgarians. In 1089, the Barska Archbishopric Church was founded, playing an important role in the region's religious landscape.
The political landscape of Raška changed in 1166 when the old dynasty was replaced by the Zavid brothers, who took control of the region. Stefan Nemanja, one of the most significant rulers of Raška, began his reign in the second half of the 12th century and carried out significant military and political reforms.
Nemanja conquered Duklja and solidified the power of the Nemanjić dynasty, which ruled the region until the 14th century. This period was marked by Christianization and the establishment of the Orthodox faith in Raška, leading to profound changes in the social and political structures.
The Bosnian Church, often associated with Bogomilism, is considered an important religious movement that emerged in the region in the 12th century. The persecution of this movement by Stefan Nemanja highlights the religious tensions in the region and efforts to establish Orthodox rule.
Overall, the document shows that Raška and Bosnia in the early Middle Ages experienced a complex web of military, political, and religious developments that laid the foundation for the region's later history. The conflicts between various dynasties and the religious struggles profoundly shaped the identity and political landscape of these areas.

This article critically examines the construction of the Serbian Orthodox "Church of Christ the Savior" in the courtyard of the University of Prishtina during the 1990s, framing it as a symbolic and ideological act of occupation rather than a religious endeavor. Positioned within the broader context of Serbian nationalistchauvinist policy under Slobodan Milosevic, the church's construction is analyzed as a calculated attempt to assert Serbian dominance over Kosovo's cultural and educational spaces during a period of institutional apartheid and ethnic repression. The paper argues that this act represents a flagrant violation of international humanitarian and human rights law, including the Geneva Conventions, the Hague Convention on Cultural Property, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Far from serving a local religious community, the church functioned as a hybrid weapon-an instrument of propaganda cloaked in religious symbolism to project control, erase Albanian identity, and reshape historical narratives. The study also deconstructs contemporary efforts to rehabilitate the church's image through propagandistic discourse in Serbian media and pseudo-academic commentary, highlighting how such narratives serve as tools of strategic mobilization and interethnic polarization. Ultimately, the paper argues that the issue should not be framed as a matter of heritage protection within Kosovo-Serbia dialogue, but as a legacy of illegal occupation and symbolic violence. By dissecting the fusion of nationalism, religion, and propaganda, the article reveals how the misuse of faith can become a strategic instrument of domination in hybrid warfare.

2025, List of Albanians killed by Montenegrin criminals around the Ottoman-Montenegrin border (1882-1892)

The following article cites a publication by Risto J. Dragicevic which lists the names of Albanians killed by Montenegrin criminals between the years 1882-1892 around the Montenerin-Ottoman border. Some names, although Muslim, have been distorted by Slavic suffixes. It is highly likely that most of the victims are Albanians, because the crimes occurred around the Vilayet of Kosovo.

The geographical unit, known among the current administrative materials as the mountainous region of Pulti, which lies in the northern direction of Drishti, above the Maranaj mountain massif, is only a fairly narrow territory of a vast medieval province that appears in historical documents about eight centuries ago. In relation to the Albanian ethnicity, it appears as an environment of primary importance. Initially, the early Koman cemeteries are located within this territory, then the appellation "Albanian" appears there, which replaced the medieval name Arber. Moreover, within the territory of "Pulti", it is believed that four local feudal dynasties were formed, as well as most of the northern tribal communities. To complete the description: in the settlements of this province, it is considered that the oldest norms of Albanian customary law have been preserved. In this scientific paper, the boundaries of the province and the type of population are also discussed in detail, two issues that have often been the subject of politically influenced publications by Slavic researchers, especially regarding its upper and eastern side.

У овом раду ауторка анализира карикатуре које су у вријеме трајања Првог балканског рата објављиване у бечким сатиричним листовима Ди Мускете (Die Muskete), Кикерики (Kikeriki) и Винер Карикатурен (Wiener Caricaturen). Примарни циљ рада био је показати кроз испитивање садржаја, симболике, као и вербалних и невербалних порука појединачних карикатура, да ли се може уочити образац негативних предрасуда, односно стереотипног типизирања различитих личности и догађаја Првог балканског рата из угла бечке сатиричне штампе. Поред анализе алегоријских предрасуда о члановима Балканског савеза, посебна пажња у овом раду је дата испитивању третирања појмова панславизма и уопште руског утицаја на балканска дешавања, затим акутном проблему одржања Османског царства, као и питању Албаније. Настојали смо утврдити да ли су карикатуре само биле гласило јавности или су пак служиле за моделирање јавнога мњења као пропагандно средство. Уочили смо да, иако су посматране новине имале различиту уредничку структуру и читалачку публику, у њиховим карикатурама о Првом балканском рату доминирао је наратив присутан и у аустроугарској официјелној спољној политици, који се, као што смо показали, огледао у понижавању чланица Балканског савеза, истицању тежње да се Османско царство одржи у животу, те потенцирању страха од панславизма и неминовности стварања албанске државе под аустроугарским протекторатом. Стереотипно типизирање чланица Балканског савеза (њихових владара и народа) не само да је појачавало већ постојеће негативне предрасуде у аустроугарском јавном мњењу, него је стварало и нове. У том смислу, карикатуре су имале сугестивну и пропагандну улогу.

2025, Security Horizons –Contemporary Security Challenges and Strengthening the Resilience of the Countries of SEE

Contemporary security challenges arise from economic trends, technological progress, informational influences, changes in the living environment, and geopolitical turbulence. The Western Balkan (WB) region has a unique but not dominant position in global geopolitical movements. The resilience capacities of each country are necessary for an adequate response to security challenges. However, WB countries cannot provide the necessary response to global challenges but only contribute to the general effort. The paper summarizes the capacities of the WB states' resistance to recognized security challenges in the EU region and beyond. It outlines the existing response capacities and offers recommendations for developing the general resilience capacities of the WB states to provide an adequate response to modern security challenges.

The Kosovo conflict is a frozen intergroup ethnonational conflict, historically long-lasting, complex, and burdened with accumulated conflicting interests and stereotypes. By relying on several analytical instruments, work in the paper focuses on determining the typology
of conflict and its characteristics. Based on Hofstede's scale of cultural factors, the components of the strategic culture of Albanians and Serbs have been determined, which determines their attitude toward resolving the conflict. The essential preconditions for establishing the
environment necessary to create a sustainable solution to the conflict are presented. The Circle model was the basis for a hypothetical answer to the Kosovo conflict that would lead to a stable and mutually acceptable solution. With all the limitations and generalizations of this complex
conflict, the paper provides a general framework for the possible "intersection" of the Kosovo conflict, a kind of Gordian knot in the Balkans.

2025, Concepts of Nationalism and Patriotism in Serbian Political Discourse: Medieval, Modern, Contemporary

The term Serbian land can be said to be continuously encountered in narrative sources written in the Serbian-Slavonic language. These sources shed light on the events that occurred from the later decades of the 12th century until the mid-15th century. The authors of those works were mainly the highest state or church dignitaries. Their accounts are somewhat connected to the information that can be found in documents issued by the rulers. Consequently, the comparison of those sources is to a certain extent inevitable. We should note that the term Serbian land is closely connected to the term “fatherland” (otačastvo).

2025, Kosovo – Srbija: Drugačiji pristup

Iako danas o Srbiji i Kosovu govorimo kao o post-konfliktnim društvima, njihove odnose već decenijama određuje niz otvorenih pitanja. Životna sredina pruža kontekst izvan tradicionalnih nacionalno-centričnih modaliteta odnosa koji ima potencijal za ostvarivanje kohezivnih veza koje su neophodne za prevazilaženje sukoba i uspostavljanje održive saradnje. Za transformaciju sukoba ključno je pomiriti različite perspektive koje akteri imaju. Fokusiranjem onog što oni rade i razumevanjem njihovih razloga da tako postupaju, stvaraju se uslovi za kreiranje odnosa u kojima je moguće zaštiti specifične potrebe i ciljeve i, istovremeno, zajednički doprinositi rešavanju problema životne sredine koje samostalno nije moguće rešavati.

The question of ownership of the Holy Land is one of the most complex
and comprehensive issues of the present day, and it serves as the subject
of this paper. Numerous important moments in the history of humanity,
as well as human tragedies, have marked that small and densely populated part of the planet. Together with the current moment and events, they serve as the motivation for this paper. In the first part, we point to the spiritual perspective of the absolute values of the chosen people of God and the world of Islam, Dar al-Islam. Furthermore, we rely on the history of Israeli-Palestinian relation, which is based on centuries-old struggle and bloody confrontations, as both sides are unwilling to relinquish even a fraction of the territory they believe belongs to them. The
focus of the second part of the paper is on the current reality, prompted by October 7, 2023, when a radical group Hamas launched a rocket attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip. Israel’s response was fierce, leading to a new complex chapter in relations in this region, as well as broader international activities that share the common denominator of a new fear of conflict of global proportions. In the paper, we used methods of content analysis, chronology and comparison of research results. In the
end, we sought to provide an objective assessment of the conflict and the
complex causes that influence the broader contexts in which they occur
and continue to be interpreted, affecting the activities of other important actors in the global socio-political arena.

With drastic changes in borders and regimes in the post-World War I period, what meaning did home have for those on the ground? How can we understand different conceptualizations of "home" and "homeland"? The 1923 Greek-Turkish population exchange enshrined a notion of "unmixing" that rested on a presumed overlap between religion and ethnicity: Orthodox Christians in Anatolia would be deported to Greece and Greek Muslim nationals would be deported to Turkey. The reduction of identity left other communities that necessarily did not understand themselves as "Turks" or "Greeks" vulnerable to deportation. This article examines the case of an Albanian-speaking Muslim village in Greece, Vinan (Vineni), and the people from there who were deported to Turkey as part of the exchange process. This case illuminates the ways refugees navigated consulates and new national regimes in an attempt to return to their original village. New migration pathways and concepts of home and homeland were negotiated through the process with and for the refugees. This article takes the 1923 Greek-Turkish population exchange as an ongoing process of forging new migration pathways and conceptions of home, as opposed to understanding the 1923 Greek-Turkish population exchange as a singular event.

In the period between the escape of Wilhelm of Wied and the entry of the Kingdom of Italy into the First World War, Albania represented an important point in the strategic plans of decision-makers in Austria-Hungary. During the first months of the war, its representatives tried to maintain their influence, which was undoubtedly the highest during the first years of Albania’s existence. The importance of Albania was primarily reflected in the strategic significance of its Adriatic coast, crucial in understanding Austro-Italian rivalry. Austro-Hungarian representatives tried to organise the remaining supporters of the Dual Monarchy in Albania and oppose them equally to the leaders of the Central Albanian Muslims who overthrew Wilhelm of Wied, but also to Essad Toptani, a protégé of the Kingdom of Serbia and an advocate of cooperation between the Albanian state and the Entente Powers.
The main obstacles in achieving Austria-Hungary’s goals in 1914 and 1915 were the defeats in two offensives against the Kingdom of Serbia, which put its representatives in Albania in the unenviable position of only observing the occupation of Vlorë by an official ally in an unequal struggle to suppress Italian influence. Albania was also important during the negotiations between Austria-Hungary and Italy about the latter’s entry into the war on the side of the Central Powers. During the negotiations, Vienna rejected the possibility of renouncing its influence in Albania until the last possible moment.

2025, Balkan Parallels. Proceedings of the international conference dedicated to the 30th anniversary of Balkan Studies at the University of Sofia Saint Kliment Ohridski (Sofia, 17–18 October 2024)

This study examines one of the major Albanian dialect groups-Northern Gheg, further divided into western and eastern parts,employing several quantitative methods. The aim of the research is to identify the influence of language contacts on the development of the Albanian dialectal area and its subareas. It is found that the Northeastern Gheg varieties, which have been in recent language contact with Slavic dialects, are simpler and more innovative than the Northwestern Gheg varieties. The application of dialectometric methods, in particular to the lexical data, allows us to hypothesize that the very formation of the Northeastern Gheg dialect group is due to language contact.

2025, HIMNA DRUŠTVENO ANGAŽIRANA FORMA NA MARGINAMA KNJIŽEVNOSTI I POLTIKE

The book "Anthem – A Socially Engaged Form on the Margins of Literature and Politics" by Professor Jahja Fehratović analyzes the anthem as a literary-musical form situated at the intersection of literature and politics. Through various chapters, the author explores the evolution of the anthem from a religious hymn to a national and revolutionary symbol, examining its development across different states and historical periods.
The book covers topics such as the transformation of the anthem, its role in national and revolutionary movements, and the specific characteristics of anthems in the former Yugoslav states. Fehratović provides a detailed examination of the national anthems of Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Slovenia, and North Macedonia, while also considering a broader European and global context. He emphasizes that anthems are not merely ceremonial songs but also powerful tools for shaping collective identity and political discourse.
A particularly interesting section of the book is dedicated to the Bosniak literary tradition, where the author points out that Bosniaks did not develop classical hymn-like poetry but had a strong revolutionary and rebellious poetic tradition. He explains that while Bosniak Alhamiado poetry did not take the form of anthems in the Western sense, it served a similar function—shaping collective consciousness, fostering resistance, and expressing defiance against social and political injustices.
The book offers an in-depth analysis of the anthem as a cultural and political phenomenon, highlighting its role in mobilizing people, promoting values, and preserving identity. Through this study, Professor Fehratović makes a significant contribution to understanding the anthem as a powerful socio-political expression, making the book a valuable resource for the academic community and the general public.

Книга «Гимн – социально ангажированная форма на границах литературы и политики» профессора Яхьи Фехратовича анализирует гимн как литературно-музыкальную форму, находящуюся на пересечении литературы и политики. В различных главах автор рассматривает эволюцию гимна от религиозной песни до национального и революционного символа, исследуя его развитие в разных странах и исторических периодах.
Книга охватывает темы трансформации гимна, его роли в национальных и революционных движениях, а также особенности гимнов в странах бывшей Югославии. Фехратович подробно анализирует национальные гимны Сербии, Хорватии, Боснии и Герцеговины, Черногории, Словении и Северной Македонии, при этом рассматривая и более широкий европейский и глобальный контекст. Он подчеркивает, что гимн – это не просто торжественная песня, а мощный инструмент формирования коллективной идентичности и политического дискурса.
Особый интерес вызывает глава, посвященная боснийской литературной традиции, в которой автор отмечает, что босняки не создали классической гимнической поэзии, но имели сильную революционную и бунтарскую поэтическую традицию. Он объясняет, что, хотя альхамиадо-поэзия босняков не соответствовала гимнам в западном понимании, она выполняла аналогичную функцию – формировала коллективное сознание, способствовала сопротивлению и выражала протест против социальной и политической несправедливости.
Книга предлагает углубленный анализ гимна как культурного и политического феномена, подчеркивая его роль в мобилизации людей, продвижении ценностей и сохранении идентичности. Благодаря этому исследованию профессор Фехратович вносит значительный вклад в понимание гимна как мощного социально-политического выражения, делая книгу ценным ресурсом как для академического сообщества, так и для широкой публики.

Analysis of the current status of Iraqw kinship terms to foresee their future trends Phaustini B. Bayo a , chrispina alphonce b and shingwa magashi b a Department of Business management, moshi Cooperative university, moshi, tanzania; b Department of Foreign Languages and Literature, the university of Dodoma, Dodoma, tanzania ABSTRACT this study analyses the status of iraqw kinship terms and provides their future implications. the study offers insights into the resilience of iraqw indigenous kinship terms and the penetration of new kinship terms from Kiswahili, a dominant language in tanzania. Data were collected through an open-ended questionnaire from 30 iraqw research participants. Brief follow-up interviews were also conducted with participants who reported using swahili kinship terms in their questionnaires, to determine whether they were merely code-switching into a dominant language or engaging in borrowing. moreover, a documentary review was conducted to determine iraqw indigenous kinship terms vs. new kinship terms. Data were then analysed thematically. the frequencies of the kinship terms were presented to determine their current trends. the findings show significant changes in the use of iraqw kinship terms. the results denote that some iraqw kinship terms are replaced by their Kiswahili equivalents, other kinship terms coexist with their Kiswahili equivalents within the community and the rest are maintained. the findings show that all the kinship terms borrowed from Kiswahili have their equivalents in iraqw, indicating that they were borrowed for prestige. this kind of borrowing has led to the loss of some iraqw indigenous kinship terms and the knowledge associated with those kinship terms among the young iraqw speakers.

In the 19th century, Europe witnessed the rise of romantic nationalism, which created contemporary nations. Many European states, based on the concept of ethnicity (common origin, culture, history, language, and tradition), were founded at the time, including the people living in the territories of Serbia, Montenegro, Greece, Bulgaria, Croatia, Slovenia, and Romania. However, a number of contemporary regional nations remained at that time without their national states like Slovenians, Croatians, Macedonians, and Albanians. Some of these nations temporarily solved their national aspirations in the 20th century via common states, like Croats, Slovenians, and Macedonians (within several types of Yugoslav political entities).

The ethnic Albanians entered Balkan history in 1043 when they came from East Sicily and settled in present-day Central Albania by the Byzantine authorities. Their ethnic origin remains still very vague and no historical consensus has been reached on the subject until now. The Albanians became aware of the importance of being a “nation” late, compared with other Balkan ethnicities. This handicap, however, the Albanian nationalist leaders tried to turn into an advantage. Since a number of European historians offered a variety of (hypo)theses on the subject, they could adopt those which suited their political and nationalistic purposes the best.

Millosh Gjergj Nikolla-Migjeni, the acclaimed Albanian poet and short story writer (1911-1938), often referred to in popular discourse as poeti i mjerimit (Alb. for the poet of misery), is celebrated for his innovative impact on Albanian literature, his poetic uniqueness, and his daring exploration of controversial and taboo societal issues in Albania at the time. Raised in an Eastern Orthodox family in the Albanian city of Shkodra (Skadar in Serb.), Migjeni received all his formal education in Serbian (in Shkodra, Bar, and Bitola) and published his poems and short stories in Albanian. This article examines divergent biographical narratives from Albania, Montenegro, and Serbia regarding his ethnic background-something that Migjeni himself, according to the available records, never discussed. The article also provides an overview of current online discourses surrounding Migjeni's persona, his literary activity, and the post-WWII and contemporary receptions of his legacy in Albania and the region, including speculations about his ethnic identity. The conclusion is that these discussions reveal the persistence of an exclusive identity politics in the Slavo-Albanian domain of interaction and offer an insight into certain internal rifts in Albanian society.

The aim of this paper is to determine the role of the Orthodox Christianity in the ethnic Serbian-Albanian conflict in the so-called Preševo Valley. This conflict between ethnically and religiously divided societies escalated to a military phase at the end of the 20th century. The data on the role of the Orthodox Christianity in the conflict and the perception of its characteristics by local Serbs was acquired through the field research conducted in September 2011. The paper is divided into four sections. The first section includes a general description of the Serbian-Albanian conflict in the so-called Preševo Valley; the second part consists of a theoretical framework of the role of religion in ethnic conflicts; the third section contains a field research methodology; and the fourth, main part consists of the analysis of the field data. The analysis of the acquired data was organised in four thematic streams: (a) the defensive character of the Orthodox religion, (b) the Serbian Rad...

2025, ZLOČINI NAD BOŠNJACIMA SANDŽAKA U XX VIJEKU Tom II Zbornik radova sa međunarodnog naučnog skupa održanog u Novom Pazaru 29. i 30. juna i u Bijelom Polju 1. jula 2024. godine

Srpski genocid dobija organizovani državni oblik 1844. godine, sa programom Ilije Garašanina "Načertanije", da bi se nastavio sa projektom Vladana Đorđevića 1908. godine, itd. Nakon agrarne reforme nastavilo se sa programom kolonizacije pod nazivom "Iseljavanje Arnauta", koji je 7. marta 1937. godine izradio V. Čubrillović 1 On je smišljao najnehumanije načine koje srpska država treba da koristi za istrebljenje Albanaca i nesrpskog stanovništva. Sljedeća studija pod nazivom "Nacrt izvještaja za Albaniju", koju je 30. januara 1939. promovisao nobelovac Ivo Andrić, predstavlja monstruozne planove za istrebljenje Albanaca i albanske države, dok je projekt S. Moljevića od 30. juna 1941. predviđao brisanje Albanije sa balkanske mape, te potpuni nestanak Muslimana, Albanaca i Bošnjaka. Ovaj svoj program pokušao je da tokom Drugog svjetskog rata, posebno u sjevernim albanskim krajevima i u Sandžaku, sprovede četnički vođa Draža Mihailović.Bihor se nalazi u južnom Sandžaku i, nakon raspada Osmanskog carstva, ulazi u sastav Crne Gore. Pod ovim imenom spominje se 1450. godine. Turci su 1455. godine osvojili Bihor. Stanovništvo ovog kraja oduvijek je vodilo veoma težak život, suočavajući se sa nasiljem i terorom koje su neprestano vršili razni osvajači. Najteži zločin, čak i sa razmjerama genocida nad lokalnim muslimanskim stanovništvom u okolini Bijelog Polja, u januaru 1943. godine, počinile su četničke snage predvođene Pavlom Đurišićem. U ovom masakru su stradali mnogi nezaštićeni stanovnici, posebno majke, djeca, starci i bolesni.
