The unfinished interior in October 2012

The Christ the Saviour Cathedral in Pristina, Kosovo^{[lower-alpha 1]} is an unfinished Serbian Orthodox Christian church whose construction began in 1995.^[1] Due to have been completed in 1999, its construction, on the campus of the pre-war University of Pristina, was interrupted by the Kosovo War.^[1]

Its construction was not welcomed by the predominantly Muslim population of Kosovo,^[2] and its future remains uncertain.^[2] Ownership of the building and the land on which it is located is disputed between the current University of Pristina and the Serbian Orthodox Church.^[2]

Seen as a symbol of the regime of Slobodan Milošević, various Kosovo Albanian intellectuals have called for its demolition.^[3]
