Shuaip Pasha's House
Shuaip Pasha's House (Albanian: Shtëpia e Shuaip Pashës) was the home of Shuaip Pasha, first Albanian Minister of Finance.[1] It was located in Prizren, Kosovo,[lower-alpha 1] near Old Stone Bridge, at the riverside of Prizrenska Bistrica. The house was built in the early 19th century by Shuaip Aga, a prominent leader of the Albanian League of Prizren, and it was destroyed in 1999.[2] In 2012, under the supervision of Cultural Heritage without Borders organisation, a plan of conservation and reconstruction was presented.[3]

Notes
- Kosovo is the subject of a territorial dispute between the Republic of Kosovo and the Republic of Serbia. The Republic of Kosovo unilaterally declared independence on 17 February 2008. Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory. The two governments began to normalise relations in 2013, as part of the 2013 Brussels Agreement. Kosovo is currently recognized as an independent state by 98 out of the 193 United Nations member states. In total, 113 UN member states recognized Kosovo at some point, of which 15 later withdrew their recognition.
