Do you remember when the Albanian economy collapsed in the 1980's (sort of an obscure item if you don't follow Balkan events)? This began a mass exodus of Albanians into Kosovo seeking employment. At that time, they began a campaign of violence against the Serbs that was documented by David Binder of the New York Times (of all things!).
As the Albanian illegal immigrants, mostly Muslims, became increasingly violent, the Serbs launched a very effective anti-guerilla campaign. It wasn't until the Albanians used a very effective PR campaign, culminating in the Racak massacre/hoax, and got the West involved on the wrong side that they gained an effective military hold on the area.

Well then I stand totally corrected.
