The University of Prishtina was founded. This university was founded through the Law on the Establishment of the University of Prishtina, which was approved by the Assembly of the Socialist Province of Kosova, on November 18, 1969. The establishment of the University of Prishtina was a historic event for the people of Kosova, as well as for the entire Albanian nation. The founding assembly of the University of Prishtina was held on February 13, 1970, and two days later, on February 15, 1970, the solemn meeting of the Assembly was also held, and this very date was declared the Day of the University of Prishtina. The University of Prishtina is the largest university in Kosova and one of the largest in the region.
