Abstract
The work, written on the basis of appropriate historiographical and ethnographic literature, deals with traditions and customs in Kosovo and Metohija in the period between the two world wars. The population of Kosovo and Metohija lived conservatively, primarily in rural areas, changed slowly and found it difficult to accept innovations, and a/so was preoccupied with various customs and beliefs. Ethnologists have gathered significant material on these customs. In our paper, we will deal with customary law, folk customs and beliefs, primarily related to folk medicine, wedding and married life, death and funeral, celebration of holidays, and a/so the role of women in preserving customs. Some customs have survived to this day, especially among the rural population. Also, they represent a very significant ethnographic wealth and part of the cultural heritage of Kosovo and Metohija, as well as the entire Yugoslav and Serbian state.
