University Of Pristina (1969–1999)
The University of Pristina was founded in the Socialist Autonomous Province of Kosovo, Socialist Republic of Serbia, Yugoslavia, in the city of Pristina, for the academic year 1969–1970 and functioned until 1999.

Albanian-language activity continues at the original location (University of Pristina), whilst the Serbian-language University of Priština has relocated to North Mitrovica, where it maintains its place within the Serbian education system. History Foundation The first higher education institutions in Kosovo were founded during 1958-69 ( Higher Pedagogical School of Prishtina, Faculty of Philosophy, etc.) and they functioned independently or as part of the University of Belgrade.
