“…Despite the international help that has been provided, for instance to Kosovo, for the improvement of textbooks and curricula, educational inequalities remain, particularly against minorities. Albanian and Serbian students still attend different schools (Nelles, 2005, pp. 78–81).…”

The transfer of the European educational discourse to particular nation‐states is a complex process. The outcomes following this transfer are unclear. This article examines the transfer of the European educational discourse in the Balkans and proposes its richer description through the consideration of the processes of educational democratisation and modernisation over the last 40 years in this area. These processes have facilitated the transfer of the European discourse to each of the Balkan countries, which today is achieved largely through participation in European Union programmes, the voluntary signing of common declarations, and financial backing through European funding. At the same time, there seems to be the general impression that the spread of the European discourse has similar effects on the reform of all the Balkan educational systems. As research interest now focuses almost exclusively on the transfer of the European educational discourse to the Balkans, one can easily surmise from this that the reform of the educational systems of the various countries in the region has a common ideological foundation. However, taking into account the concept of discourse transformation, it is argued here that the European educational discourse is influenced by the implementation of the various national policies. In one way or another, the European standards and brand names have to be filtered through the existing economic, sociological, political and cultural structures of each of the Balkan countries.

“…There have been frequent ethnic conflicts between Serbs and Albanians in Kosmet, (Bhaumik et al, 2006), which ended with NATO Alliance air strikes on the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia on the 24th March 1999. Alleged Albanian bullying, threats and intimidation of Serb school children and families meant thousands felt forced to sell their properties at depressed prices and migrate (Nelles, 2005). Thus, the beginning of the 21st century is marked by a large number of refugees and internally displaced persons from the territory of the autonomous province of Kosovo and Metohija (Marinović, 1999).…”

The settlements along the administrative line in Serbia towards Kosovo and Metohija had a very turbulent demographic changes in the past. These changes have influenced the present. In this paper we investigated the depopulation process of this area which is intensified with the political instability, social and economic changes. The main goal of this research was to analyze the causes and effects in the reduction of the number of inhabitants, as well as the possibility of revitalizing the rural settlements of a given area. To obtain the desired results, we analyzed the existing literature and statistical data, used comparative and historical methods as well as implemented the field surveys. The application of the SWOT analysis to the researched area have showed us the strength, weakness, opportunities, and threats that can effect the process of revitalization of the village.
