Abstract

Historical subjects always take a prominent place 0n the agenda of the Balkan socielies, which considerably affected the life of socielies living in !he region. And certain fo erors, which are the basis of ethnical problems, are also explicitly affected by historical fa ct and perceptions. In this point, intersected with the objectivity problem of history, it is evidenlfy seen the effects of ideological understandings and legitimation endeavors of stales. At the fast stage of independent movements emanated from the French Revolution in the Ottoman Europe, it is the inslitution of fictional state heritage fostered by above-mentioned basic defects. By beginning of taking place, especially, of these subjective evaluations in the textbooks constructed with mythos but not nourished by the sources and away from scientific approaches, it was appeared an understanding of fictional history headed by the Serbians. In this study, we try lo evaluate above-mentioned inexact hislorical perceplions by means of handling the case of the Batlle of Kosova (1389).
