Prince Lazars son, Stefan Lazarevic, had no further trouble from the Turks for the rest of Mehmets reign; and when Mehmet died in 1421 he was quick to give his support to the new Sultan, Murat II. Confident of his good relations with the Ottomans, Stefan also seized an opportunity in 1421 to conquer a large part of Montenegro (from Venice). But the main focus of Stefans interests was further north, in the region of Belgrade; and he was becoming more actively involved in Hungarian affairs as a vassal of the Hungarian king. Eventually the Ottomans grew suspicious of this attachment to a power outside their empire, and attacked Stefans territory in 1425. Help was forthcoming from Hungraty, and in the following year, when Stefan drew up the arrangements for his succession, he agreeed to hand over some of his nothernmost territories to the Hungarian crown. As successor he appointed his nephew Djuradj Brankovic.
This second battle of Kosovo is one of the great might-have-been Balkan history. If it is true that the battle lasted for three days, this must indicate that the forces were quite evenly balanced. The arrival of a large and fresh Albanian force, under a charismatic leader with five years of experience in anti-Ottoman campaigns, might well have been decisive. An even greater might-have-been concerns the role of Djuradj Brankovic: after all, if he had joined this campaign instead of sabotaging it, there would have been a military alliance against Murat stretching all the way from Wallachia and Transylvania, through Hungary and the whole of Serbia, down to the Albanian coast. But on the other hand the general history of this period teaches that anti-Ottoman alliances were always liable to break up under their own internal strains and rivalries: and the Ottoman rules could draw, as the next few centuries would show, on huge reservoirs of man power in Asia as well as in their European territories. That the battle might have been turned by Skanderbegs arrival is quite likely; that the whole of Balkan history might have been changed by an Ottoman defeat at this stage is much less easy to imagine. It is quite possible that Djuradj Brankovic had a surer grasp of the political and strategic realities then Hunyadi or even Skenderbeg, and the sheer romanticism of those who commanders stories should not , in the end , be allowed to obscure that possibility. Brankovic had his revenge on his Hungarian rival. While returning northwards, Hunyadi was captured by a Serbian band and brought before the Despot, who put him in gaol. He was later released, after agreeing to various conditions and pledges: he was obligated to pay a large ransom, to promise not to cross Serbian territory again, and, it is said, to marry his son (the future King of Hungary, Matthias Corvinus) to Brankovics niece. Djuradj Brankovic devoted the next few years to consolidating his state, and even extending it in the area of Montenegro. He did his best to placate the new Sultan, Mehmet II (known in Ottoman history as Mehmet Fatih (Mehmet the Conqueror), who came to the throne in 1451: the years later, when Mehmet was engaged in final siege of Constantinople, Brankovic fulfilled his duties as a vassal by sending 1,500 Serbian cavalry to take part in the operation.
Pages 84, 90, 91 Kosovo a short history.
Also there is evident that Ottomans spared every each of Serbian and Byzantine churches, only few that were at the beginning of their building got converted into mosques. They preserved their values and also Serbian Orthodox church was allowed to have their own separate court and hierarchy. That is why i say that Serbs didn't learn anything from their Ottoman grandfathers and failed to show any honor or principles that they had.

You Albanians realy have not a honor. You give me some people, and you was turkish ally during occupation. You can be gratefull to Turks for your majority on Kosovo today.
Stefan Lazarević was vassal of Ottomans but also other wallachian, hungarian, austrian, romanian, slovakian etc rulers was also vassals of ottomans. Vassalage in this time was normal. This can not compare to Albanians who chose Turkish side on First Balkan war.
