Autorenporträt
British-Albanian scholar. Bejtullah Destani was born in Prizren in Kosovo and went to school there. He studied political science in Belgrade in the 1980s, where he published his first book, A Selektivna bibliografija knjiga o Albaniji, 1850-1984 (Selective Bibliography of Books about Albania, 1850-1984), Belgrade 1986. In 1991, in view of the increasingly perilous situation in his native Kosovo, he immigrated to London, where he has since lived. Destani has devoted himself to Albanian studies, in particular to research on British-Albanian cultural relations and has made many significant discoveries in British archives and libraries. He was appointed First Secretary of the new Embassy of Kosovo in London in October 2008 and was made Minister Counsellor at the Embassy in London and in September 2022) was appointed Embassy of Kosovo in Rome as Deputy Head of Mission.
