Summary/Abstract: Kosovo issue represents a comprehensive complex of problems and issues, ensuing from troubles involving the coexistence of provincial Albanian majority and Serbian minority, residing at small common territory situated in the middle of Balkans. The submitted monograph describing the Kosovo issue covers the entire 20th century. Wherever it may be necessary, we strive to disclose deeper roots of some phenomena, or in cases, where an interpretation of certain development trends may remain unclear without elucidating their historical past. It specifies trials of Yugoslavian establishment to resolve “Albanian issue” in interwar royal Yugoslavia and during WW II. Commonalty of the publication then analyses genesis, development, and functioning of Kosovo autonomy in communist Yugoslavia since 1945 to 1990. Reflections of these events were given based on detailed studying of archival resources.
