Disentangle the „Kosovo knot”

Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt at looking into the problems of the Serbian – Arab conflict through 20th-century history of Kosovo, when the ‘Kosovo knot’ that is so hard to disentangle was taking shape. The goal of the article on the one hand is to present the policy of Yugoslavian authorities after the second world war as they attempted to slow down the development of conflict between the two nations, and to portray on the other hand the attempts by Kosovo Albanians who aimed at the internationalisation of the case of Kosovo and winning approval for the self-assumed Kosovo Republic. To portray the further history of this antagonism, events that took place towards the end of the 20th century and early in the present one are also covered. Their number includes the civil war in Kosovo, NATO military intervention in Yugoslavia, and the establishment of temporary protectorate in the province. The article shows peaceful and military attempts of solving the Kosovo conflict.
