This campus (Kampusi i Universitetit të Prishtinës, Kampus Univerziteta u Prištini) covers 12 hectares. It includes vast lawns and various buildings, including the National Art Gallery and the most amazing building in Pristina, the National Library. The green lung of the city, it is a pleasant place to walk. The campus is also at the heart of the country's current issues: corruption, Serbian heritage and tension between communities. A symbol of pride for Kosovars when it was founded in 1969, the University of Pristina has been plagued by corruption since independence. With 44 departments and 40,000 students, the institution has been plagued by several scandals in the 2010s: unjustified salaries paid by the university to politicians, ministers paid for research that was never conducted, fraudulent obtaining of diplomas, etc. As for the Serbian heritage, it haunts the place with the unfinished carcass of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior ordered by Slobodan Milošević in 1995. The other sensitive subject is elsewhere. Since 2001, the University of Pristina has officially moved to the northern part of Mitrovica, which is predominantly populated by Serbs. There is a conflict between the two universities that bear the same name, one "official" in Mitrovica, where courses are mainly taught in Serbo-Croatian, the other "new" but which is located here and teaches mainly in Albanian.
