		On April 4, it was announced that 100,000 Kosovars would be airlifted to temporary safety, including 20,000 to the US and to Turkey; 10,000 to Germany; 6,000 to Norway; and 5,000 each to Austria, Canada and Greece.
		Countries accepting Kosovars set up screening procedures, determining who had education, relatives and financial resources or was in greatest need of resettlement; the informal goal was to relocate 1,500 Kosovars a day.
		As Kosovars streamed into Albania in April 1999, some made their way to Vlore, a city of 90,000 from which people and goods are smuggled to Italy, 42 miles away.

	ReliefWeb » Document Preview » Kosovo: UN under pressure to cede more powers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Relations between Kosovar leaders and United Nations officials are deteriorating as the former becoming increasingly exasperated with the latter's reluctance to ease their grip on power.
		Kosovars began to look on the international authority with suspicion when Steiner's predecessor, Hans Haekkerup, agreed with the Serbian government in November 2001 to work together on issues such as return of refugees, police cooperation and justice.
		He said the conflict between Kosovars and UNMIK is "a natural articulation of the necessity for an accelerated transfer of powers".

	ICG Report - Trepca: Making Sense of the Labyrinth
		Trepca's Kosovar management attempted to sell its products on the European market and to modernise the facilities' modes of production, only to be foiled time and again by the Serbian government, which was in the process of "integrating" Serbia's economy - that is, of tethering all economic sectors even more closely to Belgrade.
		However, the two Kosovar approaches mirror the long running rivalry and split between the rival claims to be the Kosovar government; i.e.
		Kosovars - living in Kosovo, regardless of ethnicity - should have preference to work at any Trepca facility.44 But no one with ties to the Belgrade regime should be considered.

	The Myth of Great Albania
		Kosovar intellectuals were watching Albanian TV and reading Albanian papers even throughout the Stalinist period of Enver Hoxha, the long time Albanian dictator.
		As a result, Kosovar houses are three times as big as Albanian ones and Kosovars used to be (up to the Kosovo conflict) three times richer (in terms of GDP per capita).
		Kosovars crossing into Albania during the Hoxha regime were often jailed and tortured by its fearsome secret police.

	The Militant - May 22, 2000 -- Australian government deports Kosovars, restricts asylum
		By early April some 3,500 of the 4,000 Kosovars in Australia had agreed to return "voluntarily." The push to remove them came when immigration minister Philip Ruddock made a unilateral determination that conditions in Kosova were no longer unsafe.
		The Kosovars fled their homeland in the midst of pogrom-like attacks by special police units, rightist militias, and others loyal to the Belgrade regime of Slobodan Milosevic, as well as a massive bombing campaign by the imperialist powers.
		The actions taken against Albanian Kosovar refugees are part of the brutality and coarseness that has increasingly marked Canberra's policies toward refugees and unlawful immigrants for nearly a decade.

		If a Kosovar refugee travels to Kosovo without first obtaining a refugee travel document, it is possible that he or she may not be able to return to the United States.

		Although the influx of Kosovars keeps increasing, Mr Ulqini said that "Albania is the only Balkan country which cannot close its borders for the Kosovars." He stated that the Albanian Government is against the transportation of the Kosovars to other countries because this means to side with the policy of the ethnic cleansing of Milosevic.

	H-Net Review: Frederick F. Anscombe on Between Serb and Albanian: A History of Kosovo
		As for the Albanian Kosovars' view of their stake in the region, they consider themselves to be the direct descendants of its earliest inhabitants and thus to be the true "natives" of Kosovo.
		This is the lengthy period of adjustment by both Serbs and Kosovars to the transfer of political, social, and economic dominance from Muslims to Orthodox.
		Having strongly implied a Kosovar cover-up of a politically-motivated arson attack on the Patriarchate, the author then adds the unexpected sentence: "Despite the minimal damage, the Federal government allotted surprisingly high funds to restore the convent." Surely she could be clearer in identifying facts and rumors.

	Kosovo--Between Milosevic and NATO
		With respect to the first war, Kosovar is an ethnic colony of Serbia, which in its overwhelming majority, no longer wishes to continue enjoying the benefits of that dubious relationship.
		That is also why NATO does not want the Kosovars to become a power able to insist on their own independence and why they are so adamant about not "arming" the refugees, an attitude utterly consistent with their prior demand in Rambouillet that the KLA disarm.
		The left must demand, on the contrary, that any arms embargoes directed against the Kosovars be lifted precisely so that they may arm themselves and break the stranglehold which both Serbia and NATO exercises over their aspirations.

		They were aware that some of the Kosovars would be highly traumatised and high levels of anxiety and anger were expected.
		As the refugees were still in a situation of uncertainty, it was expected they would probably protect themselves from realising the extent of their losses and a numbing phase rather than a level of acute grief was anticipated.
		Jorge found the Kosovars were “a lot more open and willing to talk about the trauma of what they have gone through than I expected.

	Diplomacy sputters: Western allies should give peace one more chance -- Ivo H. Daalder (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		It is possible that the Kosovars will sign the accords after consultations back home, that the Serbs will endorse the specifics of the autonomy plan, and that negotiations on implementation details planned to start March 15 will lead to the deployment of a NATO-led force to help implement the agreement.
		Both the Serbs and the Kosovars must be encouraged to sign, and particular efforts should be made to underscore to the Kosovars that the benefits of this deal far outweigh the consequences of renewed fighting.
		If the Kosovars decide to sign on -- be it within the two weeks their negotiators have promised or after it becomes clear that autonomy looks better than the alternatives -- Washington must lead the way to pressure Belgrade to agree as well.

	U.S. Office Pristina, Kosovo - Don't Let Kosovars Be A "Silent Majority!" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		When the first election was held two years ago, Kosovars demonstrated to the International Community that they were ready and eager to participate fully in democratic self-rule.
		Some observers fear that Kosovars are becoming cynical about politics, that they believe corruption is rampant, that all political parties will be the same once in office, or even that their vote simply does not matter in the larger context of the election.
		If the real desires and interests of the real majority of Kosovars are not met in the municipal assemblies, this can only lead to increasing alienation of the voters and a weakening of the democratic system -- an especially lethal combination in a young democracy such as Kosovo's.

	War refugees treated like criminals Australian government moves to deport Kosovars
		The Kosovars, many expressing fears for their lives, are being sent back to a country that is still devastated by war and wracked by communal conflicts.
		Today at least 50 Kosovars were still rejecting the government's edict, despite an agreement being pushed by local Albanian community leaders for them to leave in return for offers of some assistance on arrival in Kosovo.
		The government's determination to remove the Kosovars expresses two things—first its efforts to forge a right-wing nationalist electoral base and second the hypocrisy of last year's claims to be motivated by humanitarian concerns.

	March 1999: 'Peace Negotiations' are a Trap for Kosovars
		The Western press accused the Kosovar delegation of keeping NATO from rescuing the Kosovar people from mass slaughter at the hands of the Serbian military and paramilitary forces because it was unwilling to sign the peace treaty without a guarantee of the right to vote on independence in a referendum after three years.
		For the Kosovars, occupation by forces from the NATO powers, which explicitly reject independence for Kosovo and have referred to the KLA as "terrorist," has a clear political implication-abandonment of the goal of independence.
		In these circumstances, the Kosovar delegates were just trying to save a scrap of principle by demanding that the agreement include the right to vote on independence in three years.

		At this point, Albanian Kosovars had to come to terms with experiences of being targets of violence and persecution, mourning dead or missing family members, and the destruction of their homes and property.
		Whether or not he is right about why female Albanian Kosovars are so keen on revenge, he pointed out, this situation in Kosovo differs from that in Bosnia-Herzegovina, where women scarred by the war of 1992-95 subsequently taught their children not to think of revenge.
		None-theless, they noted, the Serbian Kosovars’ particularly high level of psychological distress might have reflected that while the war was over for the Albanian Kosovars, it was in a sense just beginning for them—the defeated, the disgraced, the people in retreat.
