Kosovo 1968 Demonstrations

This collection addresses the 1968 demonstrations in Kosovo. It is comprised of archival documents distributed throughout different fonds of the Archives of the Republic of Kosovo. It addresses demands articulated by students, most of a political nature, which included: the creation of an Albanian language university in Pristina; designating Albanian as an official language of the government in Kosovo; self-determination for Kosovo and Albanian areas in Macedonia and Montenegro, and assigning Kosovo the status of a republic within the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY), with its own constitution. These student reactions were the first examples of open Albanian political resistance in Kosovo during the socialist regime.

本数据集聚焦于1968年科索沃的示威活动。该数据集由科索沃共和国档案馆不同档案基金中分散的档案文件组成。它涵盖了学生提出的要求，大部分具有政治性质，包括：在普里什蒂纳创建一所阿尔巴尼亚语大学；将阿尔巴尼亚语定为科索沃政府的官方语言；科索沃及马其顿和黑山地区的阿尔巴尼亚人实现自治；并将科索沃在社会主义联邦共和国南斯拉夫（SFRY）内定位为共和国，拥有自己的宪法。这些学生的反应是社会主义制度下科索沃首次公开的阿尔巴尼亚政治抵抗的典范。
