The Roma population stats of Kosovo and Metohija is pretty difficult to pin down. Even in the most tolerant to times they list themseleves as anything BUT Roma (Egyptian, etc).
Evidently, there was a campaign during the last widespread census to count many Roma as Albanian.
Some Roma sources suggest something on order of 500,000 Roma lived in KosMet pre-1999.
I have noted that in the June 1999 ethnic cleansing many Roma who were attacked by the KLA had names which normally would be attributed as Albanian.
500,000 is perhaps exagerated, but 200-300 000 is probably correct. Kosovo Shqiptars on purpose boycotted 1991 census to make population breakdown impossible.
They lied through the teeth about Kosovo and Metohia being 90% Albanian. Most likely, it was 65-70% Albanian in 1991.
In the 1980s Kosovo Shqiptars did not hide the fact they want to eradicate all others from Kosovo.
the awkward term "ethnic cleansing" came into english from "ethnically clan Kosovo", a Shqiptar 1980's political term.
The racism of the statement is striking - as long as there are other nations, for Kosovo Shqiptars, Kosovo is dirty.
Not surprising, having in mind Shqiptar NAzi past.
What is surprising is the fact that in Kosovo case, NAZIS were rewarded by international community, mostly by U.S.
