Actually about 80% of the remaining Serbs are in those three yellow cantons, and have tended to aggregate there. The Serb population there has gone up quite a bit, and the Albanian poulation has disappeared. About 50,000 serbs live in those three cantons, and I suspect about 25,000 are scattered elsewhere.
All talk about partition of Kosovo becomes an agenda for those who may be eager to reignite the divisions and the flames of the past. Partition would betray European values of integration and coexistence. Partition would also sacrifice the 60 percent of Kosovo Serbs who do not live in the north.
