In 1993, the Soros Yugoslavia Foundation based in Belgrade opened a branch office in Pristina to assist with various programs including trainings for teachers of the so-called parallel system of education set up by Kosovo Albanians. The organisation also tried to facilitate a dialogue between Albanian and Serbian intellectuals, as well as support publications on the Kosovo situation and assist a bimonthly magazine Koha that started publishing in 1990, which in March 1997 transformed into the daily newspaper Koha Ditore. Its location changed frequently but what remains quite alive in the memory of the city youth at the end of ‘90s is a large villa in Dardania where debate and book clubs, journalism courses, painting and acting classes took place.
