Macedonia: the cradle of Slavic civilization

[Petros Houhoulis]

It must be really easy to make you laugh then.

Does this also make you laugh?

Yes, we are laughing at your stupidity for posting a hagiography as a reliable historical source. Why don't you take a glance at the hagiography of St. Demetrios of Thessaloniki to conclude the exact opposite?

fact remains, we can't really say what exactly these people were.

In 1400s there were few Albanians in Kosovo, they began settling in Kosovo during Ottoman administration.

which serbs became albanian all of a sudden lol and no gorans usually feel serbian and they have taken part in a lot of massacres against albanians

You must be high. Serbs call gorani's "shiptar" and Gorani's have no Serb conscious whatsoever. Many have Albanian desire. Do you even understand Kosovo?

Albanians were in full frontal war with Ottomans during 1400s-1500s our population was decimated by half, not to forget the ones that fled to Italy too. During this time Brankovic had it cushy with the Ottomans, and you forget his involvement in the second Kosova battle. Get your facts straight.

Goranis were very pro Serbs in Kosova, even though they don't claim to be Serbs as some suggest here.

The only Albanian rebellion happened in the mat river valley, not in Kosovo. There was no reason for Serbians to rebel in Kosovo then because we weren't under Ottoman control, yet. I think you should get your facts straight.

They were never pro-Serbs, they are Muslims who are disliked by Serbs and they themselves dislike Serbs.

I don't think you know much about them. Few Goranis got killed in Drenica too with bunch of Serb cops. They were very pro Serb, but I guess they are kind of like gypsies whom ever is in power they side with.

Actually I know a lot about them. I don't think you do however. They are still in Kosovo, with Albanian names, many of them now identify as Albanians. Serbs themselves don't like them and never have and Gorani's slowly assimilate into Albanians.

You claimed that we settled in Kosova at 1400s under Ottomans, and now you are saying you weren't under Ottomans .During the second Kosova battle, Kosova was an Ottoman vassal state under Brankovic.
