Summary/Abstract: The paper offers a historical and textual comparative analysis of two very important documents: the Memorandum of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts written in 1986, and the Platform for the Solution of the National Albanian Question presented by the Albanian Academy of Sciences in 1998. On this basis, the paper inquires on the role of intellectuals as generators of national ideas, ideologies and programs. The article provides a detailed analysis of both documents and thereafter offers an analysis of the socio-political contexts, in which both texts were produced. Simultaneoulsy, the article tried to contextualise both these documents in the Serbian and Albanian nationalist discourses respectively.
