Abstract
Under pretext of difficult living and studying conditions a demonstration of Albanian students at University of Prishtina broke out in March 1981. Within a short time, social demands were transformed into political claims for Republic of Kosovo within Yugoslav federation. These claims met a strong backlash by Serbian and Yugoslav communist circles, while Kosovar political class was divided over issue. Considering these claims as directed against system, state and people, Serbian political circles seized opportunity to attack Albanian political and intellectual class with ultimate aim of destroying University of Prishtina, which they regarded as the cradle of Albanian nationalism and separatism”. Therefore, this paper claims to elaborate course of events, attitude of political circles of time and measures they took in fight against Kosovo Albanian intelligentsia, or to reflect consequences or results of such claims. Keywords: University, Kosovo, demonstrations, Communist League, political differentiation, etc.
