History of the institution[]

• Haxhi Zeka University is a successor to the Faculty of Applied Business Sciences (FABS) in Peja, founded in 1960 with the decision of the executive council of KSAK as the High Commercial and Commercial School in Peja. Initially, the school had only the Commercial Business Unit in the Enterprise and a small number of teachers. In the first year of study 1960/61 120 students were registered. Since then, the school has engaged in the training of economists' professional cadres that respond to social and economic conditions. The activity and development of the Higher School of Economics was always oriented to building that kind of regular curriculum that would form economists with contemporary professional skills that would respond to the needs of economic development and business in general.
• From the High School of Economics came several thousand economists from Kosovo and other ethnic Albanian territories (Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, etc.).

The High School of Economics in Peja experienced some very interesting and important existential periods of time.
• These periods can be divided as follows: 1960–1974 – period of formation and establishment of institutional identity 1975–1990 – period of affirmation of the school in Kosovo and all other places around Kosovo, 1991–1999 – survival period, through continuity of continuity through the parallel organization of learning in private homes 2000–2006 – the reorganization period of the FASB.
