Description Serbian campaign to preserve Kosovo within the territory of Serbian state, taking place in connection with the negotiations on new statute of Kosovo, operates with various models of autonomy. Actual plan, how to provide symbiosis with Kosovo without violating the territorial integrity of Serbia, however, may not exist in practice, because the possibility of existence the autonomous Kosovo within the framework of Serbia was entombed by the policy of Slobodan Milošević at the end of 80th and beginning of 90th of the 20th century. The most significant output of this policy was the novelization of Serbian constitution, taking place in March 1989, which resulted in dismissal of broad autonomy for the Kosovo, provided to Kosovo thru Yugoslavian constitution dated 1974. Essay described the events accompanying the above mentioned novelization. We draw attention to multi-partial political system in Kosovo, as well as all the effort of Kosovo-Albanian establishment to face the pressure from official Serbian bodies.
