Apolon,
Bla...bla...bla...propaganda....for far to long...however no one buys it anymore.If we were able to "ripe" those three countries that
you are saying we will have not not asked THe World to help us , we could done it in our own force.Make sence more for
you to understand that those three countries were the occupators and devided Albania in 1913..and yes be afraid...be very
afraid...from yourself and your sick thoughts and judgments..not from albanians.
Short History...please learn and keep your mind open for other opinions and historic facts:
Is Kosovo Serbia?
"Kosovo is Serbia" , "Ask any historian" read the unlikely placards,waved by angry Serb demostrators in Brussels on Sunday.This is
rather flattering for historians:we don't aften get asked to adjudicate.It does not, however,follow that any historian would
agree, not least because historians do not use this sort of eternal present tense.
History,for the Serbs,started in early 7th century,when they settled the Balkans.Their power base was outside Kosovo,which they fully
conquered in the early 13th century, SO THE CLAIM THAT KOSOVO WAS THE "CRADLE" OF SERBS IS UNTRUE.
What is true is that they ruled Kosovo for about 250 years,until the final OTTOMAN takeover in the mid 15th century.Churches and
monastteries remain from that period,but there is no more continuity between the medieval Serbian state and today's Serbia than
there is between the Byzantine Empire and Greece.
Kosovo remained Ottoman terrtory until it was conquered by Serbian forces in 1912.Serbs would say"liberated";but even their own estimates
put the Orthodox Serb population at less than 25% .The majority population was Albanian,and did not welcome Serb rule,so"conquered"
seems the right word.
But legally,Kosovo was not incorporated into the Serbian kingdom in 1912;it remained occupied territory until some time after
1918.Then,finally,it was incorporated, NOT INTO A SERBIAN STATE,BUT INTO A YUGOSLAV ONE.And with one big interruption(The Second World War)
it remained part of some sort of Yugoslav state until June 2006.
Until the destruction of the old federal Yugoslavia by Milosevic,Kosovo had dual status.It was called a part of Serbia; but it
was also called a unit of federation.In all practical ways,the latter sense prevailed;KOSOVO HAD ITS OWN PARLIAMENT AND
GOVERNMENT,AND DIRECTLY REPRESENTED AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL
