However, this Committee, except in Kosovo, its activity extended to Albania, in the consolidation and democratization of the Albanian state. To realize the National Union Hasan Prishtina established contacts with some Italian deputies from whom he received support and secured weapons to organize an armed uprising and thus overthrow the Serbian invader in Kosovo.
The paper explores the ideological background and political goals of the Revolutionary Movement for the Unification of Albanians, and their role in the 1968 demonstration that took place in Kosova. The paper contextualizes and historicizes the event by placing it within a spatial and chronological timeframe. By drawing from a historical narrative that describes the position of Albanians within socialist Yugoslavia, the paper traces the formation of the Revolutionary Movement for the Unification of Albanians and their ideological tenets, and posits them within a global historical Zeitgeist of the 1968 worldwide demonstrations. The paper also trails how the events of 1968 in Kosova fueled the radicalization of dissident and anti-systemic movements in Kosova that would take a central role in the historical developments of the 1970s and 1980s.
