Kosovo – između proklamovane multietničnosti i stvarne etničke podeljenosti
Kosovo – Between Proclaimed Multiethnicity and Ethnic Division in Reality

Summary/Abstract: The authors of this paper analyze ethnic relations in Kosovo since February 17th 2008. when this entity unilaterally proclaimed its independence. In this connection they focus on dramatic changes in ethnic structure in the period between 1981 and 2008 and on the evolution of informal Serbian territorial autonomy in Kosovo – the Association of Serbian Municipalities and Communities in Kosovo-Metohija, established in 2003. This analysis places a special emphasis on constitutional regulation of ethnic community status in Kosovo and their guaranteed presence in political institutions and public administration. However, the authors conclude that in spite of many citizen-oriented proclamations Kosovo is actually defined as an ethnic and national state of Albanians in its 2008 Constitution.
