In the Illyrian Wars of 229 BC and 219 BC, Rome overran the Illyrian settlements in the Neretva river valley and suppressed the piracy that had made the Adriatic unsafe.
In 219 BC the Roman Republic was at war with the Celts of Cisalpine Gaul, and the Second Punic War with Carthage was beginning.
The forces of Rome routed the Illyrians and Demetrius fled to Macedon where he became a trusted councilor at the court of Philip V of Macedon, and remained until his death at Messene in 214 BC.

 First Macedonian War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The First Macedonian War (215 BC - 205 BC) was fought by Rome, allied (after 211 BC) with the Aetolian League and Attalus I of Pergamon, against Philip V of Macedon, contemporaneously with the Second Punic War against Carthage.
However, in 219 BC, during the Second Illyrian War he was defeated by the Romans and fled to the court of Philip.
Philips' plan was it seems, to first take the Illyrian coasts, conquer the area between the coasts and Macedon, and use the new land link to provide a route for reinforcements for a rapid crossing of the straits to Italy.

 Walbank Chapter 13
The Romans confronted the Illyrian queen Teuta with an ultimatum which was almost bound to lead to war even had the Illyrians not murdered one of the Roman envoys.
This compact and the nature of the war which followed it aroused great resentment among the Achaeans and Philip's other allies, for while it showed the Romans to be uninterested in annexing territory, itmnderlined their zest for loot and plunder, including human plunder.
This process was intensified in the first century, when there were more Roman provinces, but it was already operating in the second century and was a factor in the progressive impoverishment of the hellenistic world in terms of wealth and population which lasted down to the setting up of the Roman principate.

As was the case in the 1992-95 Bosnian war, the major losses of historical archival materials in Kosovo involved bodies of older records (such as property deeds, some of them dating back to Ottoman times) that had been retained by the record-creating agencies rather than being transferred to the custody of the state historical archives.
Before the war, the library's on-line records were distributed from a central computing facility in Belgrade, which served as the union catalog for all national libraries in the Yugoslav federation.
These monasteries and their collections survived the war without damage and are under the protection of KFOR troops; some of the most valuable material had reportedly been moved to Serbia before the outbreak of the war.
