“There is very little cooperation between the two research and education systems, but even that could now be endangered by the land swaps,” says Dukagjin Pupovci, a mathematician who heads the Kosovo Education Center, a policy think-tank in �ʰ���š�پ��Բ�, Kosovo’s capital.

One is the University of �ʰ���š�پ��Բ�, whose 1,500 employees and 16,000 students during the war in 1998–99 fled from �ʰ���š�پ��Բ� to Mitrovica; it is also the only university in Kosovo that still teaches in Serbian rather than Albanian.

It would become just another provincial university, says Aleksandar Ćorac, a medical researcher at the University of �ʰ���š�پ��Բ�, who studies the effects of soil and air pollution on health.

“In Serbia, they want to save money,” she says, noting that the Kosovo bonuses for professors at the University of �ʰ���š�پ��Բ� have already declined.

Yet probably his lordship's countenance had not the pallor of the man of �ʰ���š�پ��Բ�, because "from an early dinner to the hour of rest he never left his chair, nor did the claret ever quit the table."
