Summary/Abstract: Speaking and discussing regarding the cultural heritage in Kosova, but also in other Balkan countries, is not so easy, the answer is very clear that we have different versions when we explain the cultural heritage, history, folklore, so we have different interpretations. If a tourist, student, researcher visits Kosova, they can find explanations and interpretations of cultural heritage in different versions of the Albanians, Serbians, Turkish and interpretations by foreign scholars. A concrete example for this case is the Battle of Kosova 1389 where the interpretations are different, and now in this presentation we will try to mention some of the versions we have managed to provide, the ideological approach during the time, and the documents written for them. In this paper I will focus on the interpretations that have been made about the killing of Sultan Murat I, his grave, about Milos Kopilic as a hero, the monument in Gazimestan, historical songs and celebration of the 1389 anniversary of the Battle of Kosova
