PRE-MEDIEVAL CIVILIZATIONS AND KOSOVO IDENTITY

Authors

Abstract

Kosovo and its surrounding regions are a valuable resource for understanding the true identity and culture of the Balkan Peninsula. It offers the backdrop of the historical past for all those who want to know more about the true legacy of the Southeastern Europe. In relation to human events and actions, sources in the form of archeology, philology, culture and fragmentary chronicles, represent forms which on this occasion pretend to offer (at least superficially) additional reflection on the reality of the pre-medieval history of this part of the Western Balkans, which often is surrounded by obscurity, this mainly because of the peripheral role enjoyed by Dardan ethnicity until the period best known as the ‘middle-ages of Europe’.

Keywords: Identity, Pelasgians, Illyrians, Hellenism, Dardania, Antiquity.
