		OUR road from Skoplje to the Kossovo Polye, the Field of the Blackbirds, took us towards grey hills patterned with shadows blue as English bluebells by a valley that had the worn look, the ageing air that comes on the southern landscape as soon as the fruit blossom has passed.
		So in the first battle of Kossovo the Serbs learned the meaning of defeat, not such defeat as forms a necessary proportion of all effort, for in that they had often been instructed during the course of their history, but of total defeat, annihilation of their corporate will and all their individual wills.
		The agony of Kossovo could not be balanced by the joy that was to be derived from it.

	Armenian Architecture - VirtualANI - Cultural Genocide in Kossovo
		Even before the American led elimination of Kossovo's 250,000 non-Albanians had been completed, that region's priceless collection of medieval churches and monasteries had begun to be destroyed.
		There is little doubt that NATO secretly supports this policy of cultural genocide; the destruction is necessary to ensure the permanent elimination of the Serbian population from Kossovo.
		Article 2 of the United Nations' Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide provides definitions of genocide, one of which is "deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part".

	Peshev - A letter to the Bulgarian Prime Minister
		The reason why Peshev will be remembered at the end of this extraordinary initiative for peace, is that Kossovo's tragedy made the figure of your outstanding vice-President of Parliament an extremely topical one, a great example for the Balkans.
		Nobody explained that the evil inflicted to the people from Kossovo is an evil that will be turned against the executioners themselves, against the Nation's own reputation, against one's own conscience.
		Nobody is allowed to become an accomplice of a genocide for the sake of a nationalistic ideal: the moral "amputation" of a people is much heavier than a territorial one, and this is the extraordinary teaching that Peshev left to us.

		Above all the ones Slobodan Milosevic lost in the Yugoslav Federation and those won by Ibrahim Rugova in Kossovo which, all in all, upon close examination, is still the Yugoslav Federation.
		His direct competitor, Hashim Thaci, was put in the minority, somewhat because Milosevic didn’t have the good taste to wait for the Kossovo elections before leaving the scene, thus removing the bugbear of his not very illustrious figure.
		Yet Kostunica himself could end up in a lot of trouble if considerable upsets are brought about by the Western policy concerning, for example, the withdrawal of KFOR troop contingents in anticipation of independence of the region.

		It isn't hard to persuade Serbs to be beastly to Albanians given the history of that region; whatever the sins of the present generation, memories are long, and there are atrocities in plenty stretching back hundreds of years.
		No CNN on the ground in Kossovo, no restraint whatever on Serbian light infantry forces which now utterly control the area; no domestic opposition to Milosovec whatever; and a depleted arsenal of missiles and smart weapons so that all too soon we will have to resort to iron bombs with resulting collateral damage.

		Lazar was taken prisoner and executed; the Serbs were forced to pay tribute to the Turks and promised to do military service in the Sultan's army.

		Now, Serbs predominated in Kossovo at the time of the Ottoman conquest, when, by the way, Serbs and Albanians fought together against the Ottoman armies.
		Does Schwartz know that Serbs were 20% of the Kossovo population in the 1970s when Communist Tito made Kossovo autonomous under Albanian national Communist rule, and that by the time Milosevic revoked this autonomy, the Serbian proportion was down to a mere 10% ?
		Leaving aside the issue of whether the Kossovo Albanians are Muslim fanatics or just nationalist bigots, Schwartz's rose-colored tableau of Kossovo is spoiled by the notorious drug smuggling, white slavery, etc., perpetrated by Kossovar and other Albanian gangs.
