	SANE Serbian-American Alliance of New England
		The history of Kosovo-Metohija, Serbia’s southern province, was marked by the centuries-old ethnic rivalry between the Serbs and the Albanians.
		In Kosovo-Metohija and in western Macedonia, where the Serbs and the Albanians were intermingled, with the system falling apart and with the growing social stagnation, it was anarchy that reigned: there the Christians were the principal victims and the Muslims were their persecutors.
		The Serbs' growing national frustration was skillfully used, after a party coup in 1987, by Slobodan Milosevic, the new leader of the Serbian communists: instead of party forums he used populist methods, taking over from the Serbian Orthodox Church and the liberal intelligentsia the role of the protector of national interests.

	Forged Memories, by Nebojsa Malic
		History is based on written interpretations of events that the authors most often did not witness themselves, which makes it even less reliable by several orders of magnitude.
		History is not yet re-written daily, as if in some sort of Orwellian nightmare, but it is being re-written with alarming frequency and to great extent, in order to suit political purposes.
		Croatia also claims that the Serb occupation was a result of a rebellion, fomented and aided from Belgrade, as one anonymous witness of the Hague Inquisition is also alleging this week.

		Kosovo, Malcolm explains, is the birthplace of Serbian nationalism; the defeat of Serbian forces there in 1389 by Turkish troops became emblematic of the fall of the Serbian empire, as it led to Turkish domination of the Balkans.
		Contemporary warriors of Serbia are, in Malcolm's eyes, evidently attempting to reverse the course of history by reclaiming the land from its Turkish conquerors--but in the absence of the Turks, they'll take it from the Albanians (the largest ethnic group among Kosovo's inhabitants) whose ancestors converted to Islam when the Turks ruled the region.
		Malcolm uncovers Kosova's history of all its myths and legends of all the sides involved with a detailed study of an over a thousand year spand of time of the area, leaving out only the truth as it is today based on the existing resources.
