To present, as some have done, the conflict in Kosovo province as the latest episode in a series of armed conflicts that have followed the disintegration of the former Yugoslavia is merely to foster a sense of international helplessness which serves to justify inaction.
In the intervening years the brutality of the FRY authorities did not diminish in Kosovo: the province was stripped of its autonomous status, Albanian language and cultural institutions largely suppressed and political dissent fiercely punished.

The region that is now Bulgaria was at one time included in the Roman Empire as part of the provinces of Thrace and Moesia.
The Thracians were eventually expelled or absorbed by Greek, Persian, and Roman colonies, but traces of their culture remain in their monuments devoted to horse worship and in the mummer (Bulgarian: kuker) tradition that still survives in southwestern Bulgaria.
In Roman times Bulgaria was divided between the provinces of Moesia (to the north of the Balkan Mountains) and Thrace (to the south of the Balkans) and was crossed by the main land route from the west to the Middle East.
