Kosovo does not have an official religion. Like the rest of the country, the majority of Pristina’s population consider themselves Muslim. Even though the majority of people are Muslim, they only practice the religion to low standard. Therefore, not many attend mosques or religious services to the frequency required by their faith. Many however do fast for Ramadan and praying is widely practiced. The small minority of Pristina’s religious population that is not Muslim practices Christianity in the form of Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. When Pristina was in a Serbian empire, in the Middle Ages, Eastern Orthodoxy was a predominant faith other than Roman Catholicism.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.crisisgroup.org/en/regions/europe/balkans/kosovo/105-religion-in-kosovo.aspx )〕 In terms of religion, the population of Pristina has four different communities: *Muslim *Christian :Other denominations of Christianity: : *Catholic : *Orthodox Religious communities have educational institutions for their needs organized in accordance with applicable law. Like all inhabitants of Pristina, you have the right to freedom of belief, conscience and religion, which are guaranteed to all persons in Pristina and Kosovo. This right includes freedom to hold, not to have, keep or change religion or belief. Also, it includes the right to manifest religion or belief (in worship, teaching, practice and observance), either alone or in community with others, in public or privately.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.kryeministri-ks.net/repository/docs/Kushtetuta.e.Republikes.se.Kosoves.pdf )〕 Both you and your community have the right to freedom of religion. The State is not expressly prohibited from interfering with this right〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.kryeministri-ks.net/repository/docs/Kushtetuta.e.Republikes.se.Kosoves.pdf )〕 but is obliged to protect the practice of religious rites, traditional forms of religious life, including monastic life and religious education, as well as church property.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.kryeministri-ks.net/repository/docs/Kushtetuta.e.Republikes.se.Kosoves.pdf )〕 You and your community have the right to establish religious institutions, organizations and your community.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.kryeministri-ks.net/repository/docs/Kushtetuta.e.Republikes.se.Kosoves.pdf )〕 ==History== The history behind the religion in Pristina today shows a lot of suffering within the religious communities. Taking into consideration the fact that Milosevic practiced brutality towards the Kosovar nationality during the last war, that brutality effected the population emotionally causing harassment and persecution by the Kosovar population against the Serb community and their monasteries in Pristina. The Serbian Orthodox Church was the church that supported Milosevic’s regime but it was the career of Milosevic which made Patriarch Payle to go public in the 1990s, criticizing Milosevic even though other members which were part of the hierarchy continued to give their support towards him. After the war was finished, the Serbs who were willing to work with the international community, worked under the leadership of the head of the Orthodox Church in Pristina, Bishop Artemije.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.crisisgroup.org/en/regions/europe/balkans/kosovo/105-religion-in-kosovo.aspx )〕 Serb forces during the war destroyed almost everything in Pristina including numerous Islamic facilities, archives and Islamic libraries. This act of Serbians made influence in the citizens behaviors by destroying the Orthodox Churches all around the place. The reason of destroying each other's monuments was mostly because of the desire to eradicate the evidence of the others presence in Kosovo than by religious fanaticism.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.crisisgroup.org/en/regions/europe/balkans/kosovo/105-religion-in-kosovo.aspx )〕 According to the Kosovo Statistics Agency, here is a chart showing the number of people within each religious community: .〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://esk.rks-gov.net/rekos2011/repository/docs/Te%20dhenat%20kryesore%20demografike%20sipas%20komunave.pdf )〕 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「Religion in Pristina」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
