Summary/Abstract: The aim of this text is to compare the cases of Catalonia and Kosovo in terms of their separatism. The paper is organized according to the model of point-by-point comparison. The time span of the research extends from the end of the Second World War until the end of 2017. The main working argument is that the two cases have some similarities, but also a lot of crucial differences. The comparison between Kosovo and Catalonia cases shows that there are a lot of similarities but the differences prevail. The aims of both proindependence movements are the same, but the used methods, economic and social potential, main political actors who are involved (regionally and globally), international realities are quite opposite.
