Why Kosovo Was And Always Will Be Serbian
Filed under: Politics
Let me give you the background. Kosovo is a small territory that is historically and culturally linked to Serbia. Many important battles, churches, and other places are within it. Kosovo also contained quite a large Serbian population at some time. Now because of a change due to government planning, Kosovo is more than 90% Albanian. These Albanians now wish to declare their independence because they believe that Kosovo is theirs. It is not.
My Grandfather was born in Kosovo, and so was his Father. This was at a time when Kosovo was predominately Serbian. Pre-1954 Albanians were treated badly there (due to the fact that during WWII Kosovo became Italian-controlled Albania), and because of this, Josip Broz Tito wanted them to leave and forced all Albanians in Yugoslavia to declare themselves Turkish and leave. In 1966 this changed as part of the ministry in Yugoslavia changed. Albanians were offered cheap land in Kosovo (as a part to gain economic power in a relatively economically weak territory). This continued for decades on end, even when the cheap land offers stopped flowing. Albanians also had very high birth rates, and continued to expand in Kosovo, and meanwhile, due to this, Serbs decided to leave the Province of Kosovo, which was growing weaker than ever. With the Serbs gone out of Kosovo, the Albanians were unable to provide sufficient economic sustenance, which resulted in millions of (lets go with Euros so that everyone understands) were sent in aid from Yugoslavia (and Serbia at present).
Now, in 2008, the people of Kosovo held a referendum which stated that they demand independence. Because of something that happed over the course of 40 years, these people believe that they have sufficient reason to declare independence! What arrogance! Basically Kosovo is saying we should be independent because we have been here for 40 years, while you have been here for hundreds! All their independence would do is create further conflict in the region, result in further hate from the hypocritical American and western governments, and become a huge burden on all those who wish to give economic aid (and Serbia is still doing so to date (but if Kosovo becomes recognized as a nation, I highly believe that this will end) because Kosovo is still Serbian). Kosovo is basically an American invention to belittle Europe, and to create a complete atrocity. Kosovo has been recognized by America as a nation, why? Because Kosovo allowed America to set up military bases, missile bases, and basically have a position to strike at any country within Europe or the Mediterranean!
In short, Kosovo was, is, and always will remain a Serbian province. It will never fall to the Albanians or the Americans, because the history and culture behind it will never leave the historical records. All I have to say is good luck CNN, Fox News, keep on spitting your lies. We shall see where the world power lies in 20 years. I guarantee you that America shall not be part of that power.
