Kosovo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Kosovo's international status is anomalous in that although it is a province of the Republic of employees from all ethnic communities (Albanian, Serbian, Roma, Bosniac, etc), but dominated by veterans of the KLA. Kosovo was also called "Republic of Kosova" by the shadow Kosovo Albanian government between a 1990 declaration of independence and the Kosovo War in 1999. 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. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Kosovo_and_Metohia

[Projekat Rastko] Milovan Radovanovic - Kosovo and Metohia - A Geographical and Ethnocultural Entity in the Republic of Serbia Kosovo and Metohia is the integral part of the Republic of Serbia and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and the central region of the Old Serbia, the "Serbian Orleans", in the historical-geographical and cultural-civilisation sense. The secession of Kosovo and Metohia and possibly western Macedonia means an end of the Republic of Macedonia and the reduction of the Republic of Serbia to, approximately the territory of the Principality, i.e. Kosovo and Metohia - A Geographical and Ethnocultural Entity in the Republic of Serbia www.rastko.org.yu /istorija/srbi-balkan/mradovanovic-kosovo.html

The Kosovo Chronicles, by Dusan Batakovic (Part 1b) Kosovo and Metohia, land lying in the heart of the Balkans where viutal trade routes had crossed since ancient times, was settled by Slav tribes between the 7th and 10th centuries. In the monasteries of Metohia and Kosovo, old theological and literary writings were transcribed and new ones penned, including the lives of local saints, from ordinary monks and priors to the archbishops and rulers of the house of Nemanjic. In its proclamations to the people of Kosovo and Metohia, the CPY blamed the Serbian bourgeoisie for the mistreatment and persecution of the ethnic Albanian population, thus indirectly shifting the blame from the ruling structures of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia to the entire Serbian nation. www.snd-us.com /history/dusan/kc_part1b.htm

Serbian Government >> News >> Kosovo and Metohija >> Speech by Nebojsa Covic Deputy Prime Minister of Serbian government and president of Coordination centre for Kosovo and Metohia Kosovo and Metohia is the only part of former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia where people cannot move freely and where insecurity and fear of violence and death have been persistently and deliberately preserved. Officials of Serbia and Yugoslavia, the state that Kosovo and Metohia is part of, have to provide information on their travel to the Province three days in advance. In Kosovo and Metohia, whatever the final solution might be, our desire is to have a strong and successful multiethnic society, like the one I have just described in Southern Serbia. www.arhiva.serbia.sr.gov.yu /news/2002-06/20/324818.html

The Kosovo Chronicles, by Dusan Batakovic (Part 1a) Kosovo and Metohia, and entire Yugoslavia for that matter, depended on the rule of the communist leadership, which cunningly used the manipulation of ethnic differences to consolidate and maintain power. The decision that Kosovo and Metohia be annexed to Serbia was made after the abolition of military rule on July 10,1945, perhaps under the influence of a large-scale ethnic Albanian resistance towards the new authorities. The fact that the ethnic Albanian question in Kosovo and Metohia is not in reality an issue of ideological differences and human rights is evident from the stands of Serbian opposition parties which are waging a bitter struggle with the former communists and present socialists for the democratization of the country. www.snd-us.com /history/dusan/kc_part1a.htm

[Projekat Rastko] Archaeology The opinion of the earlier scholars was that Metohia was a region in the easternmost part of the Roman Dalmatia, and that Kosovo Polje was within the province of Moesia Superior. As far as is known, from among all the Serbian areas, apart from those of Montenegro and Herzegovina, Kosovo and Metohia is the one with the greatest number of churches that have been in continuous use for over a thousand years. There are numerous archaeological testimonies of the continuous presence of the Serbian population in Kosovo and Metohia since the Early Byzantine era, that is, since the VI cent.. www.rastko.org.yu /arheologija/djordje_jankovic.html

IN RECENT YEARS, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT ETHNIC AND RELIGIOUS BACKGROUNDS HAVE GONE MISSING IN KOSOVO That all humanitarian organizations, especially those defending human rights, do their utmost to record and expose the daily killings, abductions and human rights violations against the Serbs and other non-Albanians in Kosovo and Metohia. That the authorized Yugoslav and Serbian institutions be immediately involved in the exposure of all crimes perpetrated in Kosovo and that they be permitted the same access and investigating privileges as are granted to the international organizations and the UN authorities regarding the current mass-graves investigation in Serbia proper. In contrast, the UN authorities in Kosovo have made no effort to aid the release of Serbian political prisoners from Kosovo jails and have resolved almost none of the 1,300 cases of missing Kosovo Serbs and other non-Albanians, to date. www.bndlg.de /%7Ewplarre/appeal010820.htm
