Hasan Prishtina originally known as Hasan Berisha[1][2][3] (born 1873 in Vıçıtırın (now Vučitrn),[4] Kosovo Province, Ottoman Empire – died 1933 in Thessaloniki, Greece) was an Albanian politician, who served as Prime Minister of Albania in December 1921. [5]
Biography
His father, Ahmed Berisha moved from Poljanice in Drenica region to Vushtri (known as Vucitrn) in 1871. His son, Hasan Berisha was born in Vucitrn in 1873. After finishing the French gymnasium in Thessaloniki, he studied politics and law in Istanbul. He changed his last name into Prishtina in 1908, when he was elected as a Prishtina delegate[6][7] in the Ottoman National Parliament in Istanbul during the Second Constitutional Era of the Ottoman Empire.[5]
After the Ottoman Government did not keep their promises for more rights and independence to the Albania nation, Hasan Prishtina and several other prominent Albanian intellectuals started organizing the Albanian National Movement. He together with Isa Boletini and Bajram Curri took the responsibility to start the Albanian National Movement in Kosovo.
He was elected a Minister in the government of Independent Albania led by Ismail Qemali in 1912—1913.
During the First World War he organized divisions of volunteers to fight for Austria-Hungary.[8] When army of the Kingdom of Serbia captured Kosovo from Austria-Hungary in 1918 together with Bajram Curri he fled to Vienna and later to Rome.[9] Hasan Prishtina became a head of the Committee for the National Defence of Kosovo in Rome in 1918.[10]
Hasan Prishtina was in charge of the delegation of the Committee in December 1919 which represented Albanians for the protection of their rights in the Paris Peace Conference, where he requested the unification of Kosovo and Albania.
He was one of the main organizers of the Congress of Lushnjë in 1920.
Later in 1921 he was elected as the Prime Minister of the Albanian government, but resigned due to disagreements he had with Ahmet Zogu, who was a Minister of Interior at that time. After that he remained just a member of the parliament.
After the establishment of good relations with the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes of 1922 and Ahmet Zogu's government, Hasan Prishtina and many other leaders from Kosovo were persecuted. There are claims that Ahmet Zogu even authorized the Serbian troops to search for him in Albania's territory. [citation needed]
In the end of February 1923, Hasan Prishtina and Bajram Curri organized an uprisal of Albanians in Kosovo, against the Serbian troops installed there. This uprisal was crushed. No assistance was provided by Ahmet Zogu.
After this uprisal, several persecutions of Albanians in Kosovo followed.
Hasan Prishtina is known to have been very rich, and sold almost all his property to finance the education of Albanians from Kosovo in universities around Europe, and for the armed resistance, during all his life.
He was imprisoned by Yugoslav police for a period, was released in 1931, and was killed in Thessaloniki, Greece in 1933. His mansion in the city is currently used as Thessaloniki's school for children with visual impairment.
Legacy
Hasan Prishtina is commemorated in Kosovo and Albania. In 1993, when a meeting commemorating the 60th anniversary of his death was convened in Kosovska Mitrovica, Serbian police raided the place and showed machine guns to the participants. Out of 80 participants, 37 were arrested and the rest were beaten for 5 to 15 minutes by police.[11]
