Serbian troops on alert after violent clashes in Kosovo | DW
News
--- Quote ---
> Serbia has moved army units to its border with Kosovo, after
clashes between Kosovan police and members of the country's
ethnic Serb minority.
> The unrest began when Serbs tried to prevent newly elected
ethnic Albanian officials from entering municipal buildings in
the north. Serbs form the majority there - and boycotted last
month's elections. That allowed Albanian candidates to win on a
turnout of just over 3 percent. In 2008 Kosovo declared
independence, which Serbia rejects.

"Lies, Fraud & Tricks..." Serbia Slams West Amid Kosovo Violence
| NATO Going Slow On Peacekeeping?
--- Quote ---
> Tension is running high between Serbia and Kosovo after
clashes in Kosovo over its newly-installed mayors. The new
mayors are ethnically Albanian, but have been installed in
border towns where a large part of the population are ethnic
Serbs. Serbian troops on the border with Kosovo are now on high
alert, following clashes inside Kosovo between police and ethnic
Serbs.
> In the Serb majority border town of Zvecan, ten people were
injured in clashes outside municipal buildings. Violence erupted
after a crowd tried to prevent a newly-elected mayor from
entering his office. The Zvecan mayor was finally successfully
escorted into the municipal building, according to reports
quoting local officials.

> Basically serbs in the north of Kosovo abandoned all their
positions in government and in law enforcement.
>
> They were given the chance to democratically vote in people to
fill said roles again but they boycotted the vote (which they
could’ve easily have won) because they had orders from belgrade
to basically seek out anything to cause outrage even if its they
themselves who created the „problem“.
>
> And due to the servs boycotting the votes an ethnic albanian
was voted as mayor and now they running rampant vandalizing
properties and committing arson over the result.

Best comment:
--- Quote ---
> When they invaded Kosovo, serbian imperialists proclaimed that
they are beginning to regain their historic rights they had in
1389 (before the Battle of Kosovo). Based on such historical
rights, Italy, Greece, Turkey, etc., they could stand up today
and seek half of Europe, because they have kept its parts a time
in the past . Indeed, France could search for parts of Russia
because once in 1812 Napoleon had gone very close to Moscow.

Yugoslav colonization of Kosovo
--- Quote ---
> The colonization of Kosovo was a programme begun by the
kingdoms of Montenegro and Serbia in the early twentieth century
and later implemented by their successor state Yugoslavia at
certain periods of time from the interwar era (1918–1941) until
1999. Over the course of the twentieth century, Kosovo
experienced four major colonisation campaigns that aimed at
altering the ethnic population balance in the region, to
decrease the Albanian population and substitute them with
Montenegrins and Serbs.[1] Albanians formed the ethnic majority
in the region when it became part of Yugoslavia in early
twentieth century.[2]
