The worst Serbs have always been Montenigrin Serbs, interesting enough.
Milosovic was a Montenigrin Serb. Arkan was one too etc.
Interesting how the ones with the biggest hate for Albanians were actually the closest to them.
Same way Serbs can't lay claim to areas that were occupied by the supposed Serb medieval kingdom or the empire of Stefan Dusan prior to Ottoman occupation, and that for only briefly 200 years which is exactly what they base their claim on Kosovo on. Going by your logic Serbs have also a right to modern Albania , Macedonia and Northern Greece if modern Serbs can identify themselves with a medieval kingdom that they have no continuation to As if these lands, including Kosovo, had originally been Serbian from the start when in fact they weren't.
Under the Bulgarians , Kosovo was described as predominantly Bulgarian but there can be no question it contained a Vlach and Albanian population as at this time we even have a record of an Albanian village in Bulgaria known as Arbanas , and majority of these Albanians had Slavic names and were Orthodox Christians. What we are seeing is a Slavicization of Albanians and Vlachs in the plains of Kosovo and Macedonia. You see this process during Serbian rule of Kosovo too.
There were Albanians recorded as Arbanas.
Only area where a Albanian majority population survived was in isolated mountainous areas of Northern Albania right at the border of modern Kosovo. It is only natural that right when the Slavic occupation of Kosovo stopped the Albanian population in the area started increasing. You immediately see this pattern when you look at the demographic history. By 20th century even Southern Serbia contained a strong Albanian population.
The Bulgarians had occupied all these areas, the Byzantines also and later the Ottomans. It was under Ottoman occupation for 500 years and many of these areas had naturally become Albanian by the 20th century as Albanians weren't exposed to Slavicization any more they grew as a population instead of getting assimilated is the pattern that we are seeing.
Serbia gained its independence from the Ottomans in the 19th century which did not include modern Kosovo and many areas they hold today.
Some years later they expanded South and conquered Kosovo which contained mostly an Albanian population and various other areas. According to your logic this was justified because it was briefly held by some medieval Serbs 500 years prior therefor it must be Serbian forever? But according to you Albanians cannot claim former Ilyrian lands. Great logic.
But the claim on Kosovo doesnt lie on it being former Ilyrian land.
Mind you also that Serbia illegally incorporated Kosovo into its country. Therefor Serbia and Yugoslavia illegally occupied Kosovo from 1912 to 1999.
During that time they made sure to ethnically wipe out Albanians from most of those lands they had occupied and colonize those areas and move more Serbs in.
Northern Mitrovica and Northern Kosovo were prior to the war predominantly Albanian.
Your comparison with Dalmatia and Kosovo is also lame and shows your lack of knowledge regarding history.
Northern Albania is a mountainous area that originally contained mountain tribes and served as a refugee place. This was mentioned by various historians and anthropologists from Carleton Coon to Noel Malcolm. It is by far closer to Kosovo and Macedonia than it is to Dalmatia or Bosnia.
When the Slavs and Avars invaded the Balkans , the plains of Kosovo and Macedonia was depopulated of it's native population. It's population retreated into the mountainous areas of mostly Albania, Western Kosova, Western Macedonia which is the closest area. Migrations from Dalmatia and Bosnia and into Northern Albania happened much less since they are much further away. Same way migrations out happened to the closest areas. But the growth of an Albanian population in Kosovo is also the growth of a native population Arbanas + Malsi migrations.
My ancestors came from Malsia but we aren't migrants , we travelled some km. The mountain tribe we come from Gash I gurit is right at the border of Kosovo. Mind you that such modern borders did not exist at the time.
Slavs migrated much further. Serbs migrated into Croatia and Bosnia but nobody makes a fuss about this. Now they also want independent republika srpska.
Kosovo , Macedonia etc still had Albanian minorities under Slavic rule which were obvious sign of a native population whos land had been stolen.
Why would you expect Albanians to be a majority in these areas when they were made to become Slavs? Give their children Slavic names and become Slavic Orthodox. What you are seeing is technically cultural genocode or cultural marxism. Even Albanian churches turned into Slavic. You see this pattern in Kosovo.
Serbian modern nationalism bases its terrotorial claims on a medieval empire so long gone. This is how much of a brainwashed population they are. And Ottomans weren't the only problems for this empire. The Serbs had conquered Kosovo from the Bulgarians and Byzantiums, whos to say none of these would of been able to conquer it back? You also had the principality of Dukagjini that held Kosovo .. it stretched from Northern Albania all the way to the plains of Prishtina.
No Albanian is claiming Dalmatia or Bosnia , Kosovo is a totally different case. There are many lands we would of been majority if it wasnt for Serbian occupation or in general Slavic expansion . Us being majority is something that would of happened naturally. You see this pattern especially in areas that neighbor Malsia.
Since Kosovo , Albania etc was also under Ottoman occupation, the expansion or migration was technically legal. Your logic and reason makes no fucking sense.
Albania , Kosovo etc was under Serb medieval occupation also.. Malsors could of easily migrated into Kosovo during that time only to end up Serbianised anyway. The migration wouldn't of been illegal. Especially into a neighboring area.
But I guess its OK for Slavs to expand but not Albanians. As during that time of Dusan you even see an expansion of Serbs into modern Albania itself all the way down to Southern Albania and Macedonia and not just Kosovo.
Bosnia is a different case as it was never part of Serbia or part of the same kingdom as Serbia until Ottoman occupation. It was an own kingdom since the 10th century.
Montenegro occupied Northern Malsia from us too which is today Southern Montenegro.
Technically, the core of an Albanian population prior to Slavic rule lied in Dardania and modern Albania.
Serbs even made a large population in the plains of Albania during the time of Dusan, going by you peoples logic they also have a right to Albania ... why stop at Kosovo? They expanded into all these areas they occupied which they later lost anyway. They also wanted Albania after independence.
Their nationalism and terrotorial claims mostly lie on some medieval empire that eventually crumbled.
Kosovo served as its central and where some myhtified battle was fought but its largest interest for Serbian politicians to want it lies in the mines of Trepca rather than medieval myths.
They have made the greatest fuss about Kosovo brainwashed by their own media.
