Miscellanea: Rebuilding Libraries After the Civil War in Kosovo

Summary/Abstract: In the years 1996–1999 the civil war raged in Kosovo, which at that time was part of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Several years after the war, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia was still giving judgments on crimes against humanity. In addition to the genocide during the war there was libricide – intentional destruction of books, as one of the elements associated with ethnic cleansing. Immediately after the war, actions supposed to reconstruct the lost heritage were taken, which required an enormous commitment of many people. In 2000, a report on the Kosovo Library, a general assessment and a short and medium‑term development plan were created. The document was written through the collaboration of UNESCO, Council of Europe and IFLA. The Kosova Library Mission was created, within which the long-term plan Kosova Library Project 2000+ was proposed. The plan assumes the creation of eleven different programmes related to reconstruction and improvement of the library network.
