Summary/Abstract: The subject of this article are Albanian-Serbian local conflicts from 1881 to 1912, which took place in European provinces of Ottoman Empire. The particular attention was paid for contemporary tensions in Villayet of Kosova. The discussed tensions had, despite some common features, different specificity, range and dynamics. There are showed and analyzed only chosen conflicts. Information about them has been derived from Serbian sources, which had been selected from a file of the Serbian Archive and from published files of documents. Author opposed constructing such formulation as directories and catalogue of Albanian-Serbian incidents. He proposes the typological analysis instead. There are separated three fundamental backgrounds of this conflicts: economical (in a wide meaning), religious and the background of political aspirations. More attention is paid for conflicts between Albanians and Serbs in reference to economical and religious conflicts, than to those which followed from political ambitions. In the considerations author is trying to point factors responsible for the fact, that one type of conflicts had escalated in given moment of history, and some other time other conflict dominated.
