Albanians have been a majority in Kosovo even before Tito ruled over Yugoslavia.

Serbs do love to make roadblocks. Their favorite past time.

Of course, they did same thing in the 90's.
Next step is getting weapons. And then shooting up police patrols. They will say it was in self defense.

You know, I looked it up and you are correct. Has been that way since the Ottomans slaughtered/expelled the Serbs a long time ago. But it has been more pronounced in the past 120 years.
It is curious how these things play out over the long term. It is also curious how history has a way of echoing (as opposed to repeating). Kinda sad when one thinks about it.

> The problem is that the Serbian media likes to make it appear that we Albanians are oppressing the Serbs
They don't need the media for that. That's part of their culture.
Being a perpetual victim. Everybody is to blame for their plight. Everybody but them.

How is it trolling? It is fact, NATO bombed Belgrade and is by definition a war crime. Please explain what is fabricated. This is common knowledge but not reported in western media.

I don’t think Kosovo or Serbia count as big or strong. In fact they are small and weak in comparison to most European countries.

No_Entertainer_8404 t1_j228q3d wrote
But, you and the original poster we're not honest about the situation. That's the problem. Also, you failed to explain how bombing a civilian city was not a war crime. Is it because it was NATO?
The original KFOR message was the troll. Completely insensitive to the situation. Attitudes like that are what will continue to separate and divide this part of europe. There is no black and white here. I could go on about ethnic Serbian minorities being pushed out of Kosovo after living there for generations. You won't see this on TV either. I've already admitted to Milosevics brutality.
As far as the troll and bots...I see what was done here. It's ashame others will not see this discussion.

For being a country that accepted accountability and then worked its way into becoming one of the most powerful, influential and friendly countries in Europe? Serbia could learn from them, rather than the consistent denial and being a Russian puppet.

They did everything they could to split themselves. There’s no surprise that everyone who broke away from Yugoslavia, much like those who were eastern bloc, ran straight to the west.

Nope
It started because Kosovan Serbs refused to switch to kosovan number plates since they don't recognise the authority of the Kosovan state. That community has long harboured a siege mentality and are well known for making trouble. They recently erected illegal barriers which has annoyed the kosovans.
This has been bubbling for months.

Not an expert: The balkans is an ethnic mess, where everyone hates everyone, that was kept together under Tito for decades. Tito dies in the 80's, the Serbs (biggest player in Yugoslavia) start treating the other ethnicities like shit, these break free (Bosnia, Croatia etc.). Kosovo (mostly albanians, at least in the west) breaks off Serbia officially in 2007, but Serbia ofc does not recognize this.
In the northeastern part of the territory held by Kosovo, there are many people that are ethnically serbs and are not in favor of the government. Over some number plate dispute, they started blocking roads with the rest of Kosovo. Serbia starts their propaganda machine, tensions run high. War still unlikely because of UN forces in the area and because Serbia wants to join the EU at some point.

From a Serbian perspective : shit got fucked up in the '90s,now every single ex-Yu politician is milking that. Every elections you have "crisis" of "unprecedented" risk. Nothing is going to happen, nothing is ever going to happen and/or change. Plus, this is a distraction from real problems. Bread and games. If you want in depth analysis, feel free to dm me.

It’s weird. Almost like the policy of moving ethnic Albanians into Kosovo and Serbs out in the waning years of Tito’s reign has had negative impacts.
Who could have called this?
