Serbian Yugoslav Colonisation of Albanian land

“According to the 1939 census conducted by district authorities, Kosovo had 645,017 inhabitants, exceeding the 1931 census by 92,943 people. Of these, non-Slavic residents numbered 422,827 (65.6%), Slavs 162,896 (25.2%), and resettlers 59,294 (9.2%).

According to other data presented in M. Obradović’s doctoral dissertation, “Agrarian Reform and Colonization in Kosovo, 1919–1941”, 11,383 families (53,884 people) had resettled in Kosovo before 1939. The majority came from Montenegro – 7,432 families (53.32%), followed by families from Serbia, Herzegovina, Lika, and others. These families received 50,289.50 hectares of land. Additionally, 2,721 families received 8,027.01 hectares as tenants, lessees, etc.

By 1936, with state support, 8,700 houses had been built by the new landowners. Among Albanians, 228,080 hectares of land were purchased or expropriated. Undoubtedly, the colonization of the region and instances of violence against Kosovo Albanians prompted many to emigrate. For example, the head of the Zvečan district, P. Kuzmanović, reported in a letter to the king (March 10, 1930) that during his tenure, 32,000 Arnauts, “dangerous for our country,” had emigrated irrevocably to Asia, and about 6,000 had moved to Albania.

The Kosovo-Metohija issue is also directly intertwined with Albanian history. In November 1921, a decision was made to recognize Albania’s independence within its 1913 borders. The delimitation of borders between the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (Kingdom of SHS) and Albania was completed in 1925. Yugoslav military units left Albanian territory only in December 1921.”
