Following the expiration of the stipulated deadline concerning the premises associated with the University of Pristina’s Faculty of Technical Sciences in North Mitrovica, the Rector of the University of Pristina, Arben Hajrullahu, has publicly demanded the immediate return of the property and the enforcement of relevant laws. In a statement issued to KosovaPress, Hajrullahu addressed the ongoing dispute, alleging that the northern institution was operating in a manner that he characterized as undermining the established identity of the University of Pristina. He specifically referenced the utilization of former premises belonging to the Faculty of Metallurgy, which he asserts are the property of the University of Pristina.
Hajrullahu stated that the entity operating in Mitrovica was attempting to dilute the institutional character of the main university. He claimed that the facility was improperly occupying resources that belonged to the core University of Pristina. He emphasized that the operation of a separate, localized university structure was viewed by him as a challenge to the established legal framework governing the university’s assets.
The dispute centers on jurisdiction and property rights related to academic facilities. The Rector’s demand underscores the University of Pristina’s official stance that the use of these specific buildings must adhere to existing regulations governing the university’s physical assets. Hajrullahu’s statements maintain that the proper governance and identity of the university must be upheld through adherence to the laws of the Republic of Kosovo.
