How many citizens of Pristina after they experienced violence at the time, in the back of this building, tortured to death Albanians. Bulgarian Academician Stefan Karastefanovi in ​​his book "Kosovo" describes more details of violence and hatred against Albanian Serbian authorities after World War II, I dissociate only two cases recorded in this book: Edward Kardelj assuming the performances of Serbian nationalism after World War II, said in the sixties: 1. Even our party friends were involved in the persecution of Albanians chauvinistic, women and their children. 2. Hatred against Albanians in Pristina reached the point that in 1992 the Grand Hotel was hung a piece of dirt "in Croatian, Albanian and banned dog".

In Pristina, after World War II, began to build institutional and urban infrastructure, the slogan of building a city with urban scenery. With the city's urban plan of 1953, entire neighborhoods were destroyed along with the bazaar, destroying Albanian folk architecture of the Turkish period. In this period, very few citizens home managed to escape from urban deliberate plans, processed in Belgrade. With this plan was ruined Catholic church in Prishtina, Llokaqit Mosque, Jewish Synagogue etc.. In place of the mosque was built by architecture Theatre of Kosovo and Slavic-Russian model. After World War II, in 1945, began the demolition of the old city cemetery.
Two years after the war, the cemetery complex, began to dig the earth and tjegulloren wagons sent to Skopje. In 1947 the plan was designed to be built in this locality brick Pristina. Employees who have worked at the time, remember that they encountered during excavation in the cemetery. The excavations began under the cemetery complex of today's elementary school "Asim Vokshi" in the city beyond the stone bridge over the railroad on the road Pristina-Podujevo. Stage collapse of the Albanian cemetery in Pristina continued well into the seventies, the cure time built a new brick city. I remember as a child when we saw bulldozers rolled into the yard tjegullores today, dozens of old cemetery inscribed epitaphs written in Ottoman. There was also a grave worked very well with a heavy metal lid. Of these graves, only one family managed to exhume relatives own time. During the nineties, in the abyss of the excavation collapsed tjegulloreje nearly 100 graves of Albanians today's complex city cemetery.

According Šaip Berilës, four of the city's old quarters also had its own cemetery. Cemeteries were over Varos, the brick factory chimney, the Mosque of Lab ... These cemeteries were razed and the land given to the Serbs, but then nobody even dared to ask why this was being done, says Berila. Also present fleet of Prishtina, was the cemetery complex of Albanians, especially those who were displaced from Sanjak of Nis. Flat Cemetery were also the "Field of Reconciliation", the well near the hajratit. In Pristina are two locations with Jews cemeteries, graves Tauk old orchard 10 acres in size, in which 800 Jews were buried buried since the 1850s.

The fate of the old cemetery in Pristina, the experienced many localities and cities in Kosovo. Locations with material non-Slavic culture was colonized by settler brought from Serbia, who built dwellings on the civilization and culture of the earliest civilizations in these areas. After the occupation of Kosovo, the settlers were placed throughout its territory, except in the district of Pristina city, the column was placed in Gracanica. Bërrnicë, Bardhosh, where he learned the cemetery, properties, residential homes and religious sites. In Berrnicë, was adopted early graves of Albanians who were under local Albanian population, were tombstones, partly with them forged and created the myth of Nine Serbs Jugovica. These stones are also published in book Dragan Ivanovic Milan Cukiçit and published by the Office for Cultural Monument of Prishtina in 1996. Description of authors is very suspicious, so this issue remains to be studied by eminent experts in the field. Albanian native population of the surrounding villages, has maintained that the raja of data and Bërrnicës Kolovicës, who lived during the Ottoman rule in these villages are Albanians, the tribe Krasniqe and brotherhood with the Albanian village of Llukar Makoc.
Pristina after World War II, the city won an important function of administrative, economic and political, that created a solid material basis. City size was measured by the degree of involvement, number of staff, specialists, scientists, politicians and intellectual freelancers.
