<OT> To All: SI has a Kosovo thread, more appropriate for disussions on this subject. BTW, Sam, whoever informed you that at the end of WW II Kosovo was 95% Serb informed you wrong. Kosovo was under Ottoman rule for some 500 years, and when the Serbs took it over in 1913 the majority of the population was already Albanian. Between WW I and WW II the Yugoslav monarchy attempted to colonize the region with Serbs, but the proportion of Serbs in the population of Kosovo never got over 30%. See, for example, the following source, written in 1995 (long before the present crisis): <http://www.bsos.umd.edu/cidcm/mar/yugalban.htm> For a comprehensive list of sources, see: <http://www.incore.ulst.ac.uk/cds/countries/kosovo.html> jbe
