Talk about ethnic cleansing! wonder what percentage serbs had there in the 80's.
Looks like KFOR and the UN are doing a good job at protecting Muslims.
Yugoslavia was universally deplored for "ethnic cleansing" of Albanians in Kosovo, which is a lot of bilge. I disremember the exact statistics, but I believe that the population of Albanians in Kosovo after Tito was roughly 50%. It rose to 90% under Serb rule. Basically, Albanians moved in because life under Milosevitch was actually better than life under the criminal gangs that rule in Albania. The terrorists then moved to take it over, with a view of creating Greater Albania, and clinton decided to help them do it.
Our press still suffers from clintonoid NWO delusions.
Strpce is/was a Serb enclave, but they have to cross Muslim-controlled territory to get supplies, etc. Once you cross the line into Strpce, it's 100% Serb. The ethnic boundary is about a klick east of the town. It's the annual summer killing season in the Balkans...
Calling Weasley Clark!
Id like to hear from you (UN mission officials) loudly and clearly, what standards you are talking about when young men are being killed because of the fact that they are Serbian. Kostunica said, adding that Whoever thinks that they will achieve their political goals through violence against the Kosovo Serb population is fooling themselves horribly.
Serbian President Boris Tadic said that the murders represent a message to Serbs that they do not belong in Kosovo.
This terrorist act is yet another piece of proof that the key question in Kosovo is human rights. It is clear to everyone today that the society there is far from ready for becoming democratic and multiethnic. Tadic said.
He warned that If those responsible for the crime are not convicted, just as no one was ever convicted for the murder of the children in Gorazdevac and many other crimes in the last six years, it will be clear that the Kosovo institutions have no desire to implement laws in order to prevent similar crimes from taking place.
The idea that Albanians were going to Kosovo to live under Milosevic is incorrect. In fact the Kosovar Albanian communities that are so strong in Switzerland, Germany, and London date from the time of Milosevic when Kosovo's autonomy was revoked and direct rule from Belgrade was imposed; Albanian government officials & police were removed from office and workers were fired en masse. As a result there was widespread Albanian immigration OUT of Kosovo; made easier because Slobo's mistreatment enabled most to get political refugee status. he revokedconducted mass firings of KosovarAlbanians
For some background on who lived where and who was removed from which locations, you may want to read this 1937 treatise entitled The Expulsion of the Albanians. WWII prevented implementation of the plan Cubrilovic proposed to remove the Albanains from Kosovo, but his description of past Serbian successes at removing Albanians from areas as far as Nis and Novi Pazar and Serb post WWI efforts to change the ethnic balance in Kosovo by colonizing with Serbs puts the lie to modern day Serb historical revisionism about the ethnic make-up of Kosovo.
"Our Fuehrer wants an ethnic-clean Greater Albania...All Non-Albanians must be immediately eliminated...That's what my Albanofascist friends and I understand under standards..."
Albanians implemented Cubrilovics plan. They killed/raped/expelled almost all non-Albanian population and imposed reign or terror. Albanian terror and crimes, oppression of non-Albanians and mass murder rob Albanians of any right on Kosovo and Metohija. Those crimes are clearly demonstrating that Albanians are stranger to the Kosmet region.
Like their Chechen cousins they are unable to live in peace with their neighbors and to treat non-Albanians like human beings- with dignity and respect for their individual right. One day - Inshallah - Serbs will take back what was stolen from them.
Ah, Albanians and their take on the history!
This is family tree of Gjergj Kastrioti - Skenderbeg most famous of Albanian heroes!
http://www.sardimpex.com/FILES/CASTRIOTA%20E%20BRANAI.htm
Skenderbegs mother was Voisava - daughter of a respected Serbian noble from Polog. His brothers and sisters had Serbian names. First know Kasriot(ic) was Branilo (Serb name) governer of Janina.

Of the thirty-five churches and monasteries Albs damaged and destroyed in March of this year, the first was the church of Blessed Virgin of Ljevis in Prizren. It used to be a metropolitan seat of the Serbian Orthodox Church, granted numerous estates by king Milutin. Among its contributors stands the name of Pavle Kastriotic, Skenderbeg's grandfather, who donated fifty florins and had estates comprising several villages in the Mata river valley. Before their rampage, the pathetic arsonists had erected a statue of Skenderbeg in Pristina's main square. It is good that they have done so. He can remind them they are people without history, who destroy that of others in order to forcibly conjure up their own.
Only a Serbian Kosovo can be peaceful!!!!
Peace will only return to Kosovo alongside the Serbian Army.
Genocide is more accurate!
I doubt it that it will get better, the Serbs are way too religious for Western Europe's comfort and also the Europeans will never understand the ongoing, never-ending struggle with the Islamic forces in the Balkans. The Serbs, just like the Romanians and the Bulgarians, have been stumbling rocks for Islam for centuries and Western Europe doesn't understand nor cares about it. Their attitude is that Eastern European countries should be serving them and everything else it's irrelevant and it's something which happens "over there".
I find it a redundant saying since Kosovo it's actually Serbian, it is the UN who forced changed it into something else. It's the same as saying that "Only a French Paris/British London can be peaceful!!!". The problem is that nobody is trying to change the nationality of those cities (turning them into Islamic cities due to Islamic immigration) and yet this is being allowed in Serbia.
