KOSOVO: Serbia, Albania or Independant?

[Kamal900]

It should be just an independent state and so on, and the Serbs that are living in the North should be granted autonomy similar to the Kurds of Iraq.

I support Serbia, but their behavior was undoubtedly so immature that they ended up "Nokia". Serbia could be what it is today+ Kosovo and rep. of Sprska, but thanks to Serbs' own mistake Serbia is what it is like today

Many historians put origin of Albanians from Dardanians that lived in Kosovo, Southern Serbia and Macedonia before the Slavs came there

Also old name of the region

In 1854 within the context of 19th century historical linguistics, Johann Georg von Hahn was the first to propose that the names Dardanoi and Dardania were derived from a proto-Albanian word, meaning pear tree (dardha in modern Albanian the definite form, dardhë indefinite form < PAlb *dardā[8][9]), in view of the fact that toponyms related to fruits or animals are not unknown in the region (cf. Alb. dele/delmë "sheep" supposedly related to Dalmatia, Ulcinj in Montenegro < Alb. ujk, ulk "wolf" etc.). Opinions differ whether the ultimate etymon of this word in Proto-Indo-European was *g'hord-, or *dheregh-.[10]

Prior to Slavs the Balkans was just some Proto-Albanian land.

Prior to Slavs the Balkans was just some Proto-Albanian land.

Those Balkan people assimilated with Serbs, that is what our dna proves.

Bardylis was an Ancient king from modern Kosovo

''Pavle Ivić and Alexandru Rosetti have connected the name Bardylis with Albanian i bardhë "white",[6][7] while another opinion explains the name as a combination of i bardhë with Albanian yll "star". According to Stuart Edward Mann, this second version is a folk etymology.[8] According to German linguist Paul Kretschner the name Bardylis is connected with the word "bardulos", which according to him means "grey" in the language of the Messapii in southern Italy.[9] ''

Another interesting part

''Bardylis had a son named Cleitus, a grandson named Bardylis II.[20] The daughter of Bardylis II, princess Bircenna, married the Molossian king Pyrrhus of Epirus (c. 290 BC).''


Marriage between Ancient Albanians, Macedonians and Epirotans , and they also went at war with each other, however the Epirotans and Macedonians were also close to the Illyrian neighbors. At least the Epirotans seemed to of been.

Pyrrhus was also raised by Illyrians and crowned king by an Illyrian if I remember and Alexander of Macedon spent months in Illyria. From his mother side, Alexander was half Epirotan after all.

I am rooting for Greater Kosovo!

Serbia of course.

lol, what a nonsense. Then blacks and Moors that live in France will decide if France belongs to Africa in very few years

Bad comparison. One can't dispute Albanian majority in Kosovo without disputing Serbian majority in Vojvodina.
