We were certainly never settled there by the Ottomans. There is not a single document that specifies this from these events. It mainly refers to the Kelmendi tribe who were warlike and resisted the Ottomans but they returned home mostly. There were also tribes from Northern Albania who fought. Entire revolt in 1690 was led by Albanians. In 1660's most of Western Kosovo including Prizren was Albanian inhabited. While there were some Serbs who took part not a single evidence it was led by Serbs. It's just a bunch of fabrication of history. There were also people fighting on Mahmut Begolli''s side. He was an Albanian who fought other Albanians.
Most of these historians have never even read documents from that time. They just repeat some shit some other guy said. Entire wikipedia has been vandalized by you people. I also noticed you quote books from there then when you actually read the book it's not even what the book says. For example I know Noel Malcolm's stance on this very well and they quote him and claim things he never said. He agrees reprisals were mainly on Catholic Albanians and not Orthodox Serbs. But the entire agenda of the Serbs regarding the events of 1690 is to make themselves look like the victims.
Most people in Western Kosovo were never able to flee. Some Catholics managed to flee later since they were minority and they were persecuted since Catholics led the revolt.
Serb refugees had come from all over the place, some from East Kosovo that managed to flee. No evidence of any ''mass immigration'' or populations filling up vacuums or populations being forcibly settled . It's nothing but a fairytale
Reality is that in Kosovo 1689-90 there is more Albanian history which basically has been stolen by Serbs and that is not being told the right way.
