You forgot to bring up another point Ljubivoje, those were deaths attributed to ALL sides, not as NYCAlbanoid would have everyone believe. But what else would one expect from a proto-human propagandist?

“Serbian and Russian obstructionist propaganda, aiming to mislead the world with statements such as Islam poses a threat and Kosovo sets a precedent, remained relentless.”

I wonder if the authors thought this comment would add to their credibility among Americans?

Kosovo’s independence along with its democratic constitution allows Islam and other religions to finally breath free.

LOL! Oh, that's so pathetic that they'd even attempt that lie, having already driven out all the Jewish residents of Kosovo.

Thanks for the post I will read the links and do some investigating of my own.

I hope you've notice that I refer to the Nation of Islam not muslins as an enemy. I do not know weather Albania is part of the Nation of Islam or not. From your posts and from other sources I am incline to believe it (Albania) is not. I do support the Serbs claim to (at the very least) North East Kosovo, Pristina area, since that is the heart of old Serbia.

Sorry, Jane, if that article weren’t such pathetic propaganda, it would actually be funny.

Here’s the World Bank & the OSCE population statistics for Kosovo:

Ethnic groups in Kosovo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albanians_in_Kosovo

Year Albanians Serbs(1.) Others
1948 48.48 % 47.5 % 8 %
1953 45 % 47.4 % 8 %
1961 47.1 % 47.4 % 8 %
1971 63.7 % 30.9 % 8 %
1981 67.42 % 24.9 % 9 %
1991 71.6 % 20.94 % 5 %
2000/2003(2.) 88 % 7 % 5 %
2007(2.) 92 % 5.3% % 2.7% %

Now please explain to me how Serbs could be doing all of this “ethnic cleansing” when the Serb population shows a radical decline over 50 years and the Albanian population continued to radically ramp up. Albanians may have a very high birth rate, but not high enough to account for these spikes unless they were driving Serbs out & letting Albanians from Albania in. The Albanians had to be ethnically cleansing the Serbs for these changes to happen in this way — and it’s obvious from the 1991 —2000 changes, that the NATO bombing helped the Albanians finish “the Albanian ethnic purity project for Kosovo”!

Oh, so you're unaware that the remaining Jews in Kosovo fled? Sorry, you being unaware of a fact does not make stating that fact into a lie.

That's no lie.

There were only 50 Jews left in Kosovo in February of this years, if they are still there at all as they were all trying to move to Israel.

...those were deaths attributed to ALL sides,...

Yes, you are correct.

And, that was discussed at that time (relevant to the post that I made).

Further, I have doubts about that most recent study I cited in that thread in terms of the percentages of the (approximate) number of 97,000 deaths between the sides involved.

More specifically, there is substantial evidence of incidences of Muslim forces attacking friendly targets, or shooting Muslim civilians, in order to blame Serbs. And, these incidences were not uncommon - e.g. the infamous breadline and marketplace massacres in Sarajevo in 1992, 1994, and 1995.

“Sorry, Jane, if that article weren’t such pathetic propaganda, it would actually be funny.”

Oh I agree with you totally Bokababe! I stuck this piece in “in hope” that one of the pro-Kosovo people here might explain to me why Albanians are calling on Kosovo to join “the Organization of the Islamic Conference”. Kosovo Albanians are so “liberal” according to them!

Btw, I found another couple of articles about both Croatia and Albania set for “all out cooperation with Iran”. Didn’t someone on the Balkans threads whine about Serb and Russian ties to Iran recently? I’ll send you the links if you want them.

Humor is a good thing to have and rather entertaining when it comes to the Balkans threads on FreeRepublic ;)

These were the key deaths that brought "Western" intervention into the picture and with the revisionist Hague and media outlets still try to whitewash the truth, they continue to rewrite historical fact for political expedience.

This especially apparent with recent announcement of Nasir Oric being "acquitted" of his crimes for murdering Serbs even though he bragged to the press himself of all the Serbs that his men killed.

But it seems in Croatia, Nazis are welcomed amd preserved.

No they aren't. During WW2, some Croatians attempted to form a Nazi Party, but that was outlawed by the Ustashi.

Again, I urge some of you to do your homework....but of course it's easier for some of you to lash out in ignorance.
