As the Albanians make up at least 80% of the population of Kosovo and as the Serb villages are scattered in enclaves throughout the province, what this implies is the expulsion of the Albanian majority from half of Kosovo so that it can be settled by Serbs from elsewhere and therefore satisfy the Serb-nationalist demand for a face-saving formula short of Kosovo’s complete independence

What a load of crap, to put it bluntly, the article itself is an exercise in revisionist posturing.

Oh come on, don't give me that. Serbs keep talking about "Old Serbia", and how Kosovo/a is the cradle of the Serbian nation, but it doesn't take a genius to realize this is not about a piece of land. It is about Kosova's population, and as long as the population is ethnic Albanian, Serb nationalism will not rest regardless of whether Serbia has sovereignity or not. When they say "Kosovo is Serbia", they imply "Kick the Albanians out". Beating around the bush, talking about Kosova as a piece of land, and saying there is no problem with the "good Albanians", is tantamount to using a pillow cover to conceal the big white elephant. The goal of Serb nationalism with regards to Kosova, has and will be the "Expulsion of the Albanians" alla-Vasa Cubrilovic.

Agreed. Load of horse manure in a pile of human excrement. Don't know where to start here but since you used the quote...There was/is/ no expulsion in Kosovo. The timing of the NATO/US bombing was such that IT caused the exit of thousands of Kosovites, Serbs, Albanians, etc. to flee. It was at that very time where it was falsely claimed that the Serbs were involved in ethnic cleansing. Furthermore, I'm no damn leftist and you don't have to be one to recognize a scam of a war with numerous false claims of genocide and ethnic cleansing.
