[compare Albanian etnikisht i pastër, Serbian and Croatian etnički čist] (of a geographical area, a society, etc.) characterized by ethnic or religious uniformity, esp. as a result of the purging of minority groups; cf. ethnic cleansing n. [In quot. 1981 with allusion to the Albanian slogan Kosova etnikisht e pastër (‘an ethnically clean Kosovo’; compare Serbian etnički čisto Kosovo).

The slogan was denounced as the work of Serbian nationalist agents provocateurs in a speech by Enver Hoxha, the Communist leader of Albania, in October 1982.]
