ethnically clean
ethnically clean adj. [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 origin of this slogan is a matter of some dispute. It does not reflect the stated aims of the Kosovar Albanian nationalist movement at the time of the Kosovo crisis of 1981, as claimed by contemporary Yugoslav sources, and its prominence in such sources has been seen as scaremongering. 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.]
