In Pristina schools, tomorrow’s first lesson will focus on the history of the UÇK

Pristina’s Municipal Directorate of Education has instructed schools to dedicate the first lesson tomorrow, September 16, to the Kosovo Liberation Army (UÇK), the history of the war for Kosovo’s liberation, and the role of those who contributed to this process.

Through a letter dated September 15, 2026, school administrations were asked to tailor the topics covered during this lesson to the students’ age. The issues to be addressed include the UÇK’s war, citizens’ sacrifice for Kosovo’s freedom, as well as the court proceedings in The Hague against former UÇK leaders.

The Municipality of Pristina said that through this initiative it aims to familiarize students with the country’s recent past and encourage them to reflect on the value of freedom, peace, and the preservation of historical memory.

“The purpose of this lesson is for students to learn about the recent history of our country and reflect on the importance of freedom, peace, and historical memory,” the letter states.
