In the second half of the 1990s, Government of Serbia started negotiations with Albanian leaders about the university,[1][better source needed] which in 1998, as the crisis in Kosovo was building, led to an agreement between the Serbian authorities and Kosovo Albanian leaders to permit the return of Albanian students to the university.[15] According to the agreement between Slobodan Milošević and Ibrahim Rugova, Kosovo Albanians should get control over 60% of the University campus, Serbs 35% and Turks 5%.[16] Three buildings of the university were turned over to the Kosovo Albanians on 15 May 1998.
