Rilindja (English: Renaissance) was a Kosovo Albanian newspaper and book publisher.
History
Rilindja first came out on 12 February 1945, in Prizren. It was the first newspaper in Albanian language inside Yugoslavia. It was initially printed in State Printing Shop in Prizren during the issues 1 to 60. From the issue 61, it was printed in Prishtina's Regional Printing House of the People's Front.[1]
In the beginning, it was published weekly until 27 June 1948. After that, it began to come out twice a week, on Sundays and Thursdays. Then, from November 1958, it continued out as a daily paper (except Fridays). By the year 1964, it appears every day. On 5 September 1990, the Serbian government banned its publication. With the entry of NATO forces, on 12 June 1999, it appeared again.[1]
It was one of the best sold newspapers in the Albanian sphere. Its maximum circulation reached up to 234,000 copies during the New Year holidays.
In 2002, the premises were blocked by UNMIK administration and listed as a property of Kosovo Agency of Privatization, shutting it down abruptly.[2]
