Kosovo Police

My childhood growing up in Albania involved the disruption of war and the failing of the Albanian government. I was born during the fall of communism in Albania in 1991. I grow up in a country surrounded by the neighboring war and genocide in Kosovo and the former Yugoslavia. I grow up listening to the news of the genocide that was taking place in the neighboring country of Kosovo. I remember seeing images of men, women, and children being killed daily. Thousands of Albanians from Kosovo were displaced during this time and my family took in one of the many displaced families. I saw first hand what it looks like to lose everything, however horrible their situation was they were full of life and happy to be alive. I didn’t know it at the time…

Europe is called Kosovo. Kosovo is located south of Serbia, and is across the Adriatic Sea from Italy. Nearly all of the people leaving Kosovo is because of poverty and lack of jobs. Six in ten of Kosovo’s young adults cannot find a job. A cafe that used to be open every day is now rarely open because most of the people in that area can’t even afford the 50 cent coffee, and when they are open, they make one pot of coffee last a whole day.

The 1974 Federal Constitution of Yugoslavia granted Kosovo, a small province of Serbia, significant governmental autonomy; for millennia, the Kosovars and Serbs have maintained political and religious animosity, stemming from ethnic differences between the populations and naturally, the Serbian government viewed an autonomous Kosovo as a threat to their sovereignty (Amstutz 22). In 1988, the Serbian government suspended Kosovo’s political autonomy and responded to the formation of the Kosovo…

The past thirty years have transformed Serbia from a relatively egalitarian society with a functioning social support network, to an increasingly stratified society where the benefits disproportionately flow towards the wealthy. This stratification is increasingly shaping…
