Thaci joined the Serbian chorus for partitioning Kosovo: Here are their proposals over the years.

The exchange of territories or the correction of the border between Kosovo and Serbia is an idea that is being supported by both the leaders of the respective countries, Thaci and Vuciq, writes Periscope.

But this idea has been rejected by a large number of experts and even by German Chancellor Angela Merkel herself. It's unclear the U.S. position on the case.

But this idea has a long history. There have been many Serbian politicians and academics who once wanted to divide Kosovo, in the part they would give to Albanians, and in the part they would get in Serbia.

The Serbian academic's proposal, Dobrica Qosiq, is given in the early 1990s, and requires Kosovo to divide in that way, that the eastern and central part of Kosovo e xive Albanians, while the northern and western part of the four Serbs. In other words, 40 percent of the territory would belong to Serbs while 60 percent were Albanians.

Another Serbian academic, Branimir Krstic, has had another proposal. Serbia must take the areas up to the outskirts of Pristina, according to him, which would include Serb monasteries, just as the most important mines in Kosovo. With such a plan, publicist Nedmedin Spahiu wrote more than 1 million Albanians would remain outside Kosovo.

The plan of another Serbian academic for partitioning Kosovo, Alexander Despic, does not matter technically as much as the reasons why they push to make such a plan. He believed that if Albanians were to stay in Serbia for a long time, with the growing capital of Serbs and the growing nightiness of Albanians, Serbia would eventually become a biethnic and bilingual country. That was why he wanted to expel Albanians from Serbia.

There are other academics who have offered their proposals. However, the publicist Spahiu notes that these are summed up in some principles: 1) that the coming of democracy in Europe threatens the Serb domination in Kosovo; 2) that Serbia should not be democratised without solving the Kosovo problem; 3) that Serbia has moral rights over Kosovo, the cause of its cultural and religious heritage; 4) each proposal gives Serbs a larger portion of the territory in proportion to the number of residents; and 5) that any plan of partition should give to the richer parts of Kosovo. /Periscopi
