Facts/Quotables

***

The Presheva, Bujanovc and Medvegje region covers a territory of 1249 km² and has a population of about 100 000 inhabitants. Albanians account of the absolute majority of the population. Hence, in the Presheva commune the Albanians constitute 95 % of the population, in Bujanovc about 65 % and Medvegje over 35 % of the population, whereas the other part of the population is composed of Serbs and Romanians.

***

In Presheva, one out of 18 Albanian inhabitants is employed, in Bujanovc one out of 22, whereas in Medvegje this ratio is a little more favourable. Although in the Bujanovc commune the Albanians account for the absolute majority of the population, they have only 30 % of the delegates of the communal Assembly, constituting its minority.

***

The Presevo Valley is more economically depressed and underdeveloped than the rest of Serbia. With a large ethnic Albanian population, it was particularly affected by the Kosovo crisis and the ethnic, political, and economic instability of the 1990’s.

***

...the lack of an Albanian-language university in the region means students have to struggle for places in Kosovo, Macedonia or Albania.
