	Demographic history of Kosovo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The non-Serbian population of Kosovo didn't exceed 2% by the end of the 14th century.
		that two-thirds of the population of Kosovo was Albanian and one-third Serbian.
		Colonisation programmes were implemented by the Serbian authorities in the periods between 1922 and 1929, and 1933 and 1938 leading to the settlement of some 10,000 Serbian families, mostly in northern Kosovo, Kosovo Polje and along the Lab River.

	Kosovo
		Kosovo Polje (Kosovo Field) is just a small field which was the site of the Battle of Kosovo; when the communist government changed the name of the province to Kosovo in 1968, they also started pushing "Kosovo Polje" as the name of entire region.
		Kosovo's international status is anomalous in that although it is formally a province of the Republic of Serbia, actual administration is presently conducted by the United Nations with no involvement on the part of the Serbian governments (under Security Council resolution 1244 of 10 June 1999; see Security Council Resolutions 1999 (http://www.un.org/Docs/scres/1999/sc99.htm)).
		The Assembly of Kosovo was elected in November 2001 and Ibrahim Rugova was elected as president in March 2002.

	Kosovo's "Forgotten" History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In their bid for autonomy, Kosovo's ethnic Albanians claim to be descendants of the region's earliest inhabitants, the Illyrians.
		The liberation of Serbia from the Turks led to the establishment of the modern Kingdom of Serbia in 1912 under King Peter I. With the inclusion of neighboring territories, the Serbian king became the head of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes and, later, of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia (or "South Slavs").
		History supports the point of view that the ethnic Albanians perpetrated the first acts of disobedience and violence toward the government of Yugoslavia and the non-Albanian population of Kosovo-Metohija.

	Review of Between Serb and Albanian: A History of Kosovo.
		The Serbs, however, believe that Kosovo was essentially uninhabited when the Slavs arrived in the sixth century, and that the Muslim Albanians took advantage of Ottoman support to move into the area in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
		Because events in Kosovo have been relatively well covered by the world's press and human rights organizations since 1981, the greater range of sources of information available to Vickers for this period improved both the continuity and, to some degree, the reliability of her narrative.
		Kosovo is a very controversial subject and, as the author herself notes, most of what Serbian and Albanian scholars have written about it has been tainted by nationalism (p.

		However, even Kosovo's demographic statistics have become politicized: Albanians and their supporters claim Kosovo's Albanian population is well over 90 percent, while Kosovo's Serbs claim that it may be as low as 80 percent.
		Kosovo borders on Albania; in addition, adjacent areas of Montenegro (which, with Serbia, is the other republic remaining in the Yugoslav federation) and Macedonia (which peacefully withdrew from Yugoslavia in 1992) also contain large ethnic Albanian populations.
		At sharp variance with the fl-hat/white-hat media stereotype favored by the Clinton Administration, the history of Kosovo, with its competing claims of Albanians and Serbs, is at least as tangled as that of Bosnia, and both groups are passionately attached to their irreconcilable versions of rights and wrongs.

	Challenging Myth in a Short History of Kosovo [Free Republic]
		First, since Nemanjid Serbia had its origins to the north of Kosovo, he refutes the Serbian claim that Kosovo is the "cradle of Serbian civilization." He acknowledges that it became central to the Serbian state (at least geographically) in the thirteenth century, but he doubts that that centrality extended to politics, culture, and economics.
		At one level, he argues, "a history of Kosovo has to be defined by questions projected back into the past from the political conditions of the late twentieth century." (p.
		Stretching from their collaboration with the Nazis to eliminate Serbs in Kosovo, to the anti-Serb agenda dictated during the time Kosovo was mandated an 'Autonomous Province' (1974 to 1990), the Albanians have systematically driven Serbs from Kosovo for the past fifty years.
