Slobodan Milošević and the educational system in Kosovo

As part of Slobodan Milošević’s pro-Serbian campaign he looked to “Serbianize” different autonomous territories in Serbia, one of which was Kosovo. One of his primary methods to do so was to reform the educational system in Pristina, Kosovo’s capital, by increasing the influence of Serbian teaching and reducing Albanian teaching. Albanians were the ethnic majority in Kosovo and Serbs were the ethnic minority. In pioneering for the installment of Serbian educational policies in the Kosovo capital, Milosevic was acting on his ambition for a “greater Serbia.”
