Abstract

The 1980s marked the beginning of the economic downturn for Kosovo. In those years, nationalist movements began to proclaim secession from the federation following the death of Yugoslav leader Tito. While the Socialist Republic of Serbia had claims to subjugate or bring under its hegemony most of the units of the Federation. This Serbian nationalist policy, with its oppressive regime and ethnic cleansing, began in Kosovo. The years 1989-1990 represent a very difficult period for Kosovo in terms of political, cultural, educational and economic developments. The 1989 constitutional amendments hit Kosovo’s economic prospects, which clearly show Serbia’s intentions to deepen economic dependence and increase political violence in the country. The manifestations of the political and economic crisis during the 90s changed not only the history of Kosovo, but also of Yugoslavia.

Abstract

80’li yıllar Kosova ekonomisinin düşüşü başladığı yıllardı. Yugoslav yönetici olan Tito’nun ölümünden sonra, federasyondan ayrrılmayı ortaya koyan milliyetçi hareketler başladı. Sırp Sosyalist Cumhuriyeti ise, federasyonun birimlerin bir çoğunun boynunu eğip, hegemonyası altında sokmaya çalıştı. Bu Sırp milliyetçi politikası, rejimi ve etnik temizlik hedefleyen politikası ile, işine Kosova’dan başladı. Siyasi, kültürel, eğitim ve ekonomik gelişmeler açısıdan 1989-1990 yılları, Kosova için yeterince ağır dönem arz etmektedir. Ekonomik fakirliğin ve siyasi şiddetin derinleşmesini açık şekilde hedefleyen 1989 yılı anayasal değişiklikleri, Kosova’nın ekonomik yönüne darbe koydu. 90’lı yıllar boyunca siyasi ve ekonomik krizlerin ortaya çıkması, sadece Kosova’nın değil, Yugoslavya’nın da tarihini değiştirdi.
