The University of Prishtina as well as the University of Pri tina are at present two disjoint public universities located in Kosovo, sharing the same history up to a point of bifurcation, which took place in 1999. The university was opened as one university in Yugoslavia, in the city of Pristina, for the academic year 1969/1970 and functioned as the University of Pri tina until 1999. In 2003 the University in Pristina had been described as being "at the very core of political conflict and the self-esteem of Albanian Kosovars".
