The Socialist Autonomous Province of Kosovo (; (アルバニア語:Krahina Socialiste Autonome e Kosovës); often abbreviated SAP Kosovo), comprising the Kosovo region, was one of the two autonomous provinces of Serbia within Yugoslavia (the other being Vojvodina), between 1946 and the breakup of Yugoslavia. Between 1946 and 1963 the province was named the Autonomous District of Kosovo and Metohija, and enjoyed a lower level of self-government than the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. Between 1963 and 1974, when the province was granted equal status with Vojvodina, the province was accordingly named the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija. In 1974 the two autonomous provinces of Vojvodina and Kosovo were granted significantly increased autonomy, and added the prefix "Socialist" to their full official names, the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija was at that point renamed to the Socialist Autonomous Province of Kosovo, in addition dropping the reference to Metohija from its name. Fifteen years later, during the breakup of Yugoslavia, the 1974 reforms were reversed and the province was restored to its 1963–74 name (Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija). ==Background== During the interwar period, the constitutional status of Kosovo within Yugoslavia was unclear. At the time that Serbia liberated Kosovo (in 1912-1913), the 1903 constitution was still in force. This constitution required a Grand National Assembly before Serbia's borders could be expanded to include Kosovo; but no such Grand National Assembly was ever held. Constitutionally, Kosovo should not have become part of the Kingdom of Serbia. It was initially ruled by decree.〔Perić, ''La question constitutionelle en Serbie'', Paris 1914〕 Serbian political parties, and the army, could not agree on how to govern the newly conquered territories; eventually this was solved by a royal decree.〔Olga Popović-Obradović, The Parliamentary System in Serbia 1903-1914''.〕 In 1944, Tito had written that it "will obtain a broader autonomy, and the question of which federal unit they are joined to will depend on the people themselves, through their representatives" although in practice decisionmaking was centralised and undemocratic. There were various proposals to join Kosovo to other areas (even to Albania) but in 1945 it was decided to join Kosovo to Serbia. However, one piece of the former Kosovo Vilayet was given to the new Yugoslav republic of Macedonia (including the former capital Skopje), whilst another part had passed to Montenegro (mainly Pljevlja, Bijelo Polje and Rožaje), also a new entity. In July 1945, a "Resolution for the annexation of Kosovo-Metohija to federal Serbia" was passed by Kosovo's "Regional People's Council". In principle, Albanian became an official language; but little changed in practice as most judges and government officials were Slavs. In the immediate post-war years there was a certain amount of cooperation with the Albanian government, which even sent a few Albanian-speaking teachers to Kosovo. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Socialist Autonomous Province of Kosovo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
