Hatidža Beriša

Hatidža Beriša (Хатиџа Бериша, Hatixhe Berisha; born 1961) is a Serbian university professor and military officer.

Biography
She was born in 1961 to a pro-Serbian Kosovo Albanian family in Klina, AR Kosovo and Metohija, PR Serbia, FPR Yugoslavia. Her father Halil fought as a soldier of the Royal Yugoslav Army and was captured by the German Army and held in German prison camps.

She received her doctorate from the Faculty of Political Sciences at the University of Belgrade with the thesis Political Violence in Kosovo and Metohija from 1945 to 2003.

Her brother Izet, a member of the special police unit, was killed in combat against Croatian forces in the Battle of Vukovar, on the last day of the battle. During that time, Beriša was a military officer stationed in Đakovica. Her partner, a military pilot, died in combat in 1993.

Following the Kosovo War, the Beriša family house was burned down by members of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), since the Beriša family did not cooperate with them. In 1999, Beriša left Kosovo and Metohija as a refugree and no longer returned to the province. Her other brother Adem, a member of the State Security Service, was killed on 7 April 1999 in a NATO airstrike on a post office in Priština.

She is a professor at the Military Academy in Belgrade and at the Faculty of Engineering Management.

Beriša is a prominent Serbian patriot and believes that Kosovo is exclusively the territory of Serbia.
