Albanians in the Balkans: Special Reports: Publications: U.S. Institute of Peace The Albanian population in the Balkans, which is defined as a language group and includes Catholics, Orthodox Christians, and Muslims, is scattered throughout the region, with the largest concentrations existing in Albania proper; Macedonia; Kosovo; the areas of Presevo, Bujanovac, and Medvedja in southern Serbia near the border with Kosovo; and Montenegro. Albanians are even more concerned by the fact that many of the police officers and Ministry of the Interior troops involved in policing the demilitarized zone are the same individuals who patrolled the area under Milosevic, and in some circumstances committed crimes against the Albanian population. The Albanian government deserves to be applauded for the responsible positions it has taken on the recent violence, and Albania should continue to encourage ethnic Albanians in the Balkans not to use force as a means of resolving their grievances. www.usip.org /pubs/specialreports/sr77.html   (6061 words)

Kosovo - free-definition Serbia at this time did not exist: a number of small Slav kingdoms lay to the north and west of Kosovo, of which Raska (Rascia, central modern Serbia) and Dioclea (Montenegro and norther Albania) were the strongest. The curriculum was (and still is, as that is the curriculum used for Albanians in Serbia outside Kosovo) basically the same as Serbian and that of all other nationalities in Serbia except that it had education on and in Albanian language. In 2002, Serbia and Montenegro reported hosting 277,000 internally displaced people (the vast majority being Serbs and Roma from Kosovo), which included 201,641 persons displaced from Kosovo into Serbia proper, 29,451 displaced from Kosovo into Montenegro, and about 46,000 displaced within Kosovo itself, including 16,000 returning refugees unable to inhabit their original homes. www.free-definition.com /Kosovo.html   (6061 words)

kosovo and metohia Serbia at this time did not exist: a number of small Slav kingdoms lay to the north and west of Kosovo, of which Raska or Rascia (in central modern Serbia) and Dioclea (Montenegro) were the strongest. Since it was a Serbia wide referendum and Albanians are a minority in Serbia as a whole, their participation would not have changed the outcome of the referendum. Some Serb historians claim that Albanians came to the Balkans in the 11th century AD from the Caucasus, but this theory is not widely accepted outside of Serbia. www.fact-library.com /kosovo_and_metohia.html   (3039 words)

ERPKIM Archive NGO wants Albanian ethnic region with own police and flag in Montenegro, DAN Podgorica, January 28, 2005 The issue of the status of Albanians in Montenegro has been brought to the fore again, after a recent visit by Albanian party leaders to Kosovo-Metohija. Dinosha colourfully described this request saying that his people want "a separate room" within Montenegro. According to Unitas and its executive director Nik Djeljosaj, the Montenegrin territory inhabited by Albanians would be defined as a single region. www.kosovo.com /news/archive/ticker/2005/January_28/23.html   (791 words)

History of Kosovo The demographic and ethnic picture changed also because of the permanent settlement of Albanians coming from Albania, who settled in the homes and on the estates of the exiled population.The ethnic cleansing of the Serbs got frightful dimensions. During the 1850s and the 1860s, the genocide against the Serbian people was confirmed by a great number of documents, of grievances to the Turkish administration against the crimes of the Albanians and in the reports of the European consuls (Bitolj, Skoplje, Prizren, Prishtina). These are the reasons of the permanent resistance and struggle of the Serbian people for their national liberation, for their return to the European civilization, but also the roots of the deep demographic changes which took place in the 18th and 19th centuries, which represent the basis of the present problem in Kosovo. www.beotel.yu /~pejin/history.html   (3319 words)

Serbia and Montenegro: The Politics Of Churches And Helicopters - RADIO FREE EUROPE / RADIO LIBERTY Montenegrin Albanian political leader Mehmet Bardhi said in Podgorica that the dedication of the church on Mount Rumija is "the biggest provocation against the Albanians in the past 50 years," adding that the move "is preparing the ground for further ones" that he did not specify. For his part, Montenegro's Environment Minister Boro Vucinic said that he is happy that the SPC and its Metropolitan Amfilohije have, as he put it, "finally decided to respect the legal system and the laws of Montenegro" and register the new building. Several pro-independence Montenegrin political leaders said the SPC is misusing religion for political ends by erecting the church on Mount Rumija, a mountain that has importance for Montenegro's Orthodox and Islamic communities alike. www.rferl.org /featuresarticle/2005/8/962276D0-0BFC-4D6D-A2BC-4CBFB5268260.html   (1095 words)

Albanian Student protests in Kosova - 1997 - Background information In order to carry out this paragraph of the Program a ‘formula’ was invented for introducing emergency measures in enterprises and public institutions, in which all Albanians were removed from office and Serbs and Montenegrins, coming from Kosova or/and Serbia and Montenegro, replaced them. By the way, the staff enforcement, and material-technical facilitation, was envisaged to be a permanent duty in order to quench and hinder democratic processes in Kosova, and break the political will for self-determination of the Albanians following the dismemberment of SFRY, a constituting part of which was also Kosova. The Albanian Communist Party, which spearheaded the resistance against the Germans, was controlled by the Yugoslav Communist Party (YCP) under Tito and was little more than an extension of the Yugoslav Party. www.alb-net.com /old-alb-net/more.htm   (1095 words)

ReliefWeb » Document Preview » Report of United Nations Inter-Agency Assessment Mission to Southern Serbia (Mar 2001) A lack of regional co-operation and standardisation of university degrees, and especially the previously lower standards of Pristina University (during the parallel system), mean that ethnic Albanians face problems having their diplomas recognised or long delays for official approval. However, a brunt of this is felt most acutely in Southern Serbia by the ethnic Albanian community, yet despite dissatisfaction with the former regime's policies, ethnic Albanians did not systematically withdraw from State institutions as was the case in Kosovo in the early 1990's. Serbia is a country of destination for illegal migrants, but also a transit route to the neighbouring countries and the EU. www.reliefweb.int /w/Rwb.nsf/vID/40088DC9ADF1D57CC1256A2B0050570E?OpenDocument   (12018 words)

2004 Country Report on Human Rights Practices in Serbia and Montenegro The Multiethnic Police Force in southern Serbia was composed primarily of ethnic Albanians and Serbs. Ethnic Albanian leaders of the southern Serbian municipalities of Presevo, Bujanovac, and Medvedja continued to complain about the underrepresentation of ethnic Albanians in government structures. After a radio station carried the home address of a Muslim boy who was injured when he fell from the roof of the mosque, an explosive device was thrown at his house. www.state.gov /g/drl/rls/hrrpt/2004/41706.htm   (19742 words)

Serbia and Montenegro This region, which encompasses the municipalities of Presevo, Bujanovac, and Medvedja, has the largest concentration of ethnic Albanians in Serbia proper and had been an area of significant ethnic unrest in 2000-01. Serbia and Montenegro (SaM) is a constitutional republic consisting of the relatively large Republic of Serbia and the much smaller Republic of Montenegro.* In March 2002, the two republics, with European Union (EU) mediation, negotiated the Belgrade Agreement, in which they agreed to redefine the joint state. Since January, the IOM has seen far fewer trafficked women in Serbia, but it is not clear to what extent this trend reflected a decline in trafficking and to what extent it was due to other factors, such as better concealment after regional anti-trafficking operations in 2002. www.state.gov /g/drl/rls/hrrpt/2003/27874.htm   (18146 words)

ICG CLAIMS THAT ALBANIANS AREN'T TRYING TO ACHEIVE "GREATER ALBANIA" BUT ONE ALBANIAN ORGANIZATION SAYS DIFFERENT Moreover, we are judging that the treatment of the Albanian issue by ICG is under the false Slavic-Greek (Serbia, Montenegro, Greece and FYROM) history, politics and propaganda, that Balkans are endangered by Albanian "terrorists and extremists groups", attempting to underestimate all Liberation Movements for national liberation, from 1878 to 2004. Albanians can not endure without am end until will be fulfilled the privileges of their criminals and inquisitors, embraced for many years by the dirty international politics. Albanians, simply are brought into such a positon that they truly are creating the conviction that ICG type's organisations are doing everything against the Albanians' rights. www.slobodan-milosevic.org /news/anuf041104.htm   (3139 words)

Serbia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The southern province of Kosovo and Metohia, once heart of the medieval Orthodox Christian Serbia, during the Ottoman reign became largely populated by different Muslim peoples, mostly Albanians, but also Turks, Egyptians and so on. Serbia's terrain ranges from the rich, fertile plains of the northern Vojvodina region, limestone ranges and basins in the east, and, in the southeast, ancient mountains and hills. Serbia, and in particular the valley of the Morava, is often described as "the crossroads between East and West", which is one of the primary reasons for its turbulent history. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Serbia   (3139 words)

Timeline Montenegro 1999 Apr 3, Montenegro announced that over 31,000 Kosovar Albanians had entered the country since NATO assaults began and that it was facing a humanitarian catastrophe. Montenegro's population is 660,000, predominantly Christian Slavic Montenegrins.

Kosovo, Origins: Serbs, Albanians and Vlachs - Noel Malcolm The origins of the Albanians must be sought, therefore, on the Illyrian side of the divide - particularly in the mountains round Kosovo, in the Malesi, and in the tangle of mountains stretching north from there through Montenegro. While the origins of the Vlachs are obscure enough, the origins of the Albanians have been the subject of a much more bewildering mass of conflicting claims and theories. One influential theory therefore places the early Albanians in the part of northern Albania which (according to archeological evidence and place-names) was the most untouched by Roman influence: the 'Mat' district north-east of Tirana and west of Debar. vmro.150m.com /en/nm/kosovo.html   (8090 words)

Albanians: A Nation without Borders Finally, Albanians want their children taught in their own language and are terrified by the historic patterns of ethnic cleansing and assimilation since 1878 by the hostile Slavic regimes of Serbia, Montenegro, and Macedonia surrounding them. Albanians prefer democracy and view Serbs as enforcers of their Communist regime at a time when Communism has fallen everywhere else in Europe. Kosova abuts northern Albania.  Some 95 percent of its citizens are ethnic Albanians, whom historians believe were the earliest residents of the Balkans in an area once called Illyria.  Nevertheless, Kosova has been ruled by the state of Serbia, formerly Yugoslavia's largest single Republic, and brutal force was used to maintain control until recently. www.aacl.com /resourcebook/intro.htm   (784 words)

Shqiperia It is bordered by Montenegro in the north, Serbia (Kosovo) in the north-east, the Republic of Macedonia in the east, and Greece in the south, has a coast on the Adriatic Sea in the west, and a coast on the Ionian Sea in the southwest. We first learn of Albanians in their native land as the Arbanites of Arbanon in Anna Comnenas' account (Alexiad 4) of the troubles in that region caused in the reign of her father Alexius I Comneus (1081-1118) by the Normans. The language is Albanian, although Greek is also spoken by the Greek minority in the south regions of the country. www.albania-guide.net /albania.php   (2295 words)

Yugoslavia - Amnesty International In September in Montenegro, Nebojša Ranisavljević was sentenced to 15 years’ imprisonment for taking part in the abduction and subsequent murder of 19 Muslims and one ethnic Croat from the Belgrade-Bar train at Štrpci in Bosnia-Herzegovina in1993. Presidential elections in Serbia in October and December, and in Montenegro in December, failed to produce results because the turnouts were below the minimum required. This envisaged the two republics of Serbia and Montenegro remaining in a loose union with an option for either party to secede after three years. web.amnesty.org /report2003/Yug-summary-eng   (2090 words)

A Short History of Kosovo This brief history, based on authoritative published sources, is intended to provide readers with an objective and reasonably concise history of the hundreds of years of struggle between Albanians and Serbs in Kosovo. In their eyes it was a regime which found its justification in the usurpation of their land and denial of their rights; hence it represented the exact opposite of a peaceful, multicultural coexistence based on a system of social and political justice. Hence, the cruelty of the fighting in Bosnia reflected the historical confrontation which, instead of being settled by dialogue, erupted in hatred. lamar.colostate.edu /~grjan/kosovohistory.html   (8604 words)
