| Description | The issue of delimitation of the state-financed education of Albanians in their mother tongue was an important source of tension between the majority Macedonian population and Albanian minority in the Republic of Macedonia in the analysed period (1994-2004). It was closely related to the foundation of an illegal University in Tetovo (1994), where instruction was carried out in Albanian. This act and the subsequent heated debate over the status of the university epitomized a wider socio-political conflict between the two main ethnic communities in Macedonia. The author of the contribution aspires to closely reconstruct all the major phases of the whole case, sums up reasons for the establishment of the university and assesses the influence of the controversy on the political situation and ethnic coexistence in Macedonia. |
