Ethnic distance has a great importance for social dynamics, as the source of possible social conflicts, but also the potential source of social cohesion. Therefore, there is a need for constant research. Results of the research carried out among the students of the University in Pristine with temporary head office at Kosovska Mitrovica (May 2009) and the University in Belgrade (May 2010), with implementation of representative quota sample and questionnaire technique, with using Bogardus scale as the instrument modified for the needs of researching student population, have shown that the ethnic distance in average is considerably bigger among the questioned students in Kosovska Mitrovica, comparing to the students questioned in Belgrade. Considering the fact that Kosovska Mitrovica is a city divided on ethnic principle, at the edge of ethnic contact every day, this bigger ethnic distance in average is understandable then, the same that is understandable the smaller ethnic distance among the students in Belgrade, who have more cosmopolitan attitude regarding the case of nation, which can be explained by the size and the spirit of the city, but also with the fact that ethnic conflict is not taking place here - just in front their eyes. Regardless the difference in the result of ethnic distance, they both have the greatest distance towards Albanians, which can be explained by the fact that members of this nation are those who disintegrate the present state of Serbia, creating on its territory so called "independent Kosovo". Considering ethnic distance of students in Kosovska Mitrovica regarding those nations that live in the area of Autonomous Province Kosovo and Metohija, conclusion is imposed that Serbs and Montenegrins there are sufficient for themselves! This fact actually illustrates how much the society of Kosovo and Metohija is actually divided society, while the religion has an important influence in those divisions. Actually, it may be said that obtained results regarding the scale of ethnic distance indicate the results of confessional distance. In case of students from both Universities, it is evident that significantly bigger ethnic distance is to those ex-Yugoslav nations with which wars were waged (except Albanians, these are also Croatians, Muslims/Bosnians and little less Slovenians) and to those non-Yugoslav nations which had an unfriendly relationship with our country during the whole Yugoslav crisis, including the contemporary phase regarding Kosovo and Metohija (Americans, Germans, Englishmen, Dutchmen), while ethnic distance is considerably lower to those non-Yugoslav nations with friendly relationship, with which there is a high level of identification (Russians, Greeks). It is interesting that regardless not so friendly attitude of France to our country recently, ethnic distance to Frenchmen is lower than to the other mentioned western nations, which is probably the relict of the "traditional friendship". It is interesting to observe that in general the ethnic distance of students from both Universities is lower to those nations that have never lived in Yugoslavia, regarding those former Yugoslav nations, from which one may conclude that the joint living actually has deepened the ethnic distance. Great ethnic distance has been recorded with students of both Universities to Gypsies and Chinese. Regarding Gypsies, it can be explained by many negative stereotypes that exist regarding this nation, and it is really the time that Serbs part with them finally, since during the history they have mostly share the faith of Serbian nation, including the ethnic cleansing of Serbs and Gypsies from Kosovo and Metohija in 1999. Regarding the ethnic distance to Chinese, the nation that has friendly and protective relationship with Serbia, it is probably insufficient knowledge on cultures, manner of life, habits and similar that contributed to such a great ethnic distance, which surely should be the subject of further researches.

Higher Education reform and modernization processes in Serbia were initiated by the overall 'Europe of knowledge' project, which encompassed Bologna and Lisbon declarations aiming to enroll Western Balkan countries into unique European Higher Education Area. By the adoption of the Law on Higher Education in 2005, these processes obtained their legal ground in Serbia and regulated implementation of the principles of both declarations, while Tempus (Trans-European Mobility Programme for University Studies) as the European Union programme for reform and modernization of Higher Education additionally supported internationalization of Higher Education Institutions in Serbia and harmonization of their curricula with highest European educational standards. This essay gives an overview on development of Tempus programme at the University Pristina temporarily settled in Kosovska Mitrovica since 2009, when the university for the first time applied for this kind of donation until its official closure and completion of implementation of all its projects where university was involved.

After closure of Tempus, European Union programme for reform and modernization of Higher Education at the end of 2013, European Commission promoted new integrated European Union programme Erasmus+ for a period from 2017-2021, which encompassed seven various programme for education, youth and sport of previous generation. Aside from seven implemented Tempus projects, University Pristina temporarily settled in Kosovska Mitrovica, continued with successfull participation in Erasmus+ programme. Since 2015, university gained seven Erasmus+ Key Action 2: Capacity Building in Higher Education projects, which is the most significant action and represents the inheritance of Tempus programme. University also realised inter-institutional cooperation with big number of universities from European Union with whom he gained 10 International Credit Mobility projects aiming at promotion of students, academic and administrative staff mobility of this university.

Ovaj rad je pokušaj autora da podseti domaću i međunarodnu naučnu javnost na kontinuitet albanskog nasilja nad Srbima u XX veku. Velikoalbanska iredentistička aktivnost između dva svetska rata imala je snažnu podršku fašističkih sila, zainteresovanih za razbijanje novonastale jugoslovenske države. Bila je to u prvom mestu fašistička Italija i Treća komunistička internacionala (Kominterna) sa sedištem u Moskvi. Velikoalbanski „Kosovski komitet” se početkom 1920. godine povezao sa Kominternom. Italija je neposredno podržavala akcije albanskih terorista (kačaka) u Jugoslaviji u godinama posle Prvog svetskog rata. „Vođe tog pokreta Hasan Priština i Mustafa Kroja dobijali su od italijanske vlade u početku 50 000 lira mesečno, kasnije oko 200 000 od septembra 1927. godine znatno više”. Na Beogradskom univerzitetu formirana je 1935. godine tajna studentska organizacija „Besa” s osnovnim programskim opredeljenjima da radi na priključenju Kosova i Metohije Albaniji. Idejne vođe tajne terorističke organizacije bili su Ćazim Blaca, Šaip Mustafa i Ibrahim Ljutva, a njihov osnovni zadatak bio je da na univerzitetu stvore atmosferu o neophodnosti stvaranja Velike Albanije, da formiraju oružane formacije u i datom momentu krenu sa terorističkim akcijama. Finansiralo ju je albansko i italijansko poslanstvo u Beogradu.

The paper strives to consider the intensity and structure of motivation for studying among undergraduates of the University of Priština in Kosovska Mitrovica, as well as to check whether there are differences in the intensity of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation among undergraduates of different faculties. In addition, drawing on the Theory of Self-Determination of Edward Deci and Richard Ryan, we were interested in the structure of motivation for studying in two sociocultural areas: Serbia and Croatia. The research was conducted during the summer semester of 2017 on the premises of five faculties. The Thomas-Miller scale was used to examine motivation for studying. The most intense individual motivator for studying is "I am studying, because I will be able to get / find a better job", and the presence of the intrinsic factor of motivation for studying is more pronounced. The research findings have indicated that all motivators are classified into two factors, intrinsic and extrinsic ones, and account for 51.40% of the variance of the observed measurement space. Our research obtained a different structure of factors, in relation to the research results in Croatia. Motivators "... because I simply have to" and "… because I will be able to get / find a better job" have replaced affiliation, in relation to the structure of factors obtained in the Croatian sample of respondents. Both observed factors of motivation for studying are the most intense among undergraduates of the Faculty of Medicine. Undergraduates from other faculties do not differ statistically significantly in the intensity of both motivational factors.

Istraživanja pokazuju da vaspitni postupci roditelja doprinose formiranju različitih osobina ličnosti i interpersonalnih relacija koje deca uspostavljaju tokom razvoja. Cilj rada je bio da se ispita kakva je prediktivna moć vaspitnih stavova roditelja u predviđanju interpersonalne orijentacije studenata, tačnije, pojedinih aspekata filantropske i mizantropske orijentacije. Istraživanjem je obuhvaćeno 238 studenata oba pola različitih fakulteta Univerziteta u Prištini, prosečne starosti 21.61. Za prikupljanje podataka korišćeni su Skala za procenu vaspitnih stavova roditelja VS i Skala interpersonalne orijentacije IO. VS skala meri dve dimenzije vaspitanja, afektivnu (polovi toplo−hladno vaspitanje) i dimenziju kontrole (polovi popustljivo−ograničavajuće vaspitanje). Rezultati multiple regresione analize pokazuju da je percipirano toplo vaspitanje majke značajan prediktor prijateljstva, aspekta filantropske orijentacije, i socijalne izolacije (sa negativnim predznakom), aspekta mizantropske orijentacije. Hladno vaspitanje majke je značajan prediktor nepoverenja, aspekta mizantropske orijentacije, dok je ograničavajuće vaspitanje majke značajan prediktor potrebe za ljudima i prijateljstva, aspekata filantropske orijentacije. Vaspitni stavovi oca se nisu pokazali značajnim u predviđanju interpersonalne orijentacije studenata. Generalno gledano, percipirani vaspitni stil majke važniji je nego vaspitni stil oca za objašnjenje interpersonalne orijentacije osobe, a pritom je veći doprinos afektivne dimenzije vaspitanja nego dimenzije kontrole. Nalazi se diskutuju iz ugla raspoložive empirijske evidencije u ovoj oblasti psihologije i ukazuje na pravac budućih istraživanja.
