What do Serbs teach in schools about Albanians?

When talking about history books and their importance, we need to consider many things that are conveyed in generations, including the objectivity with which we show it.

It is important to note that parts are supported by historical facts from reliable sources.

Many of the studies done so far have not dealt with Albanians with scientific goals. Such is the story of Kosovo that is served to new generations in Serbia. They're easily accessible even online.

Vladislav B. Sotirovic, a professor of social and diplomatic science, in his history book

“Kosovo: What is everybody supposed to know (really)”, has listed some facts that he called; the true and the wrong “regarding the history of Kosovo and Albanians.

According to Sotirovic and his history book, Kosovo is the early territory of Serbia and Albanians are coming in from other provinces, and that their struggle is not a matter of their rights, but the essence is at the biological level. Further in these books, students are served a history of Greater Albania because of a demographic explosion taking place within the Albanian population for more than a century.

The Albanian “Process is the carried out ethnic cleansing of Kos Met, which continued over the past century and refers to all non-attendants (Rome, Turkish, Croatian, etc). It is a clear case of well-planned ethnic cleansing, whose reasoning is an extreme xenophobia towards Serbs. In fact, Albania appears the cleanest ethnic state in Europe, 98%, with Greeks, Slavs, Jews, Roma, etc. expelled in one way or another. After NATO's intervention is the 1999 Kosmet occupation, where “the ethnic cleansing” against Serbs has reached 97%”, The history book on Kosovo speaks.

Although Serbia and Albania are trying hard in the past two decades to improve their relationship, experts say the two countries may have eased historic tensions, but relations remain fragile.

But what else do Serbs learn about Albanians? The following are 11 “facts” being served in the Book of Serbian History:

Serbian History

Kosovo is today one of the most controversial territories in Europe and a real Balkan powder barrel, which can explode again at any time.

It is a province within the Republic of Serbia, known both by Serbia's constitution and Resolution 1244 by the United Nations Security Council (Resolute 1244 of KS, June 10, 1999)

Kosovo is today one of the most controversial territories in Europe and a real powder barrel in the Balkans that can explode again at any time. It is a province within the Republic of Serbia, known both by both Serbia's constitution and Resolution 1244 by the United Nations Security Council (Resolute 1244 and KBB, June 10, 1999.

However, Kosovo's parliament, with a clear majority Albanian majority, declared Kosovo's independence (without a referendum) in February 2008, which was recognised by the majority of Western countries followed by their puppet clients worldwide (in reality, today about 90 states).

However, since Serbia received the status of a candidate country for full EU membership on March 2012, intensive negotiations between Belgrade and Pristina for Kosovo's final status are continuing under the EU umbrella, entering the final phase. Kosovo is the birthplace of the first independent Serb state in the Middle Ages, a centre of Serbian state authorities, churches, culture and civilisation, and the location where Serbia waged a decisive battle (Kosovo Battle) in 1389 against Muslim Ottoman invaders, protecting Christian Europe from orientation and Islam. What, in fact, The EU asks Serbia in the current negotiations between Belgrade and Pristina for the province's final status is recognising the independence of the self-declared Republic of Kosovo for very vague promises for the EU.

In order to become a clear historical and political mirror on the Kosovo issue, in the following paragraphs we will correct fundamental Western misconceptions about Kosovo, which are present in mass media, folk literature, but also in academic publications, even from universities, institutes and the most prominent Western organisations. In particular, the text is a critical contribution to one of the most misleading academic publications (equizily) on the Kosovo issue with a very bombistic title: Judah T.,

1. Wrong: The Kosovo issue is a conflict between ethnic Albanians and ethnic Serbs.

True: It is a part of the conflict between Balkan Albanians and surrounding populations in Montenegro, Serbia, Macedonia and Greece (for example, clashes between Albanians and Macedonians in Macedonia from 1991 onward, including an open rebellion in 2001.

2. Error:The issue is a fight by Albanians for their rights.

True: The point of the matter lies at the biological level. The real reason is a demographic explosion taking place within the Albanian population for about a century (the population growth rate), Albanians have increased four to five times faster than the average rate in other European countries) and the subsequent expansion for Lebensraum and has the goal of creating a Greater Albania.

3. Error:South Serbia province called Kosovo

True: Kosovo and Metohia, February Kos Met. Kosovo itself is a cut in Kosovo Polje, what in Serbian language Fushe Zogu (German Amsselfeld) means. Metohija is a corrupt Greek name for Metohija, which means depending on the monastery, referring to land donated by Serbian kings and other rulers at the Kos Met monasteries and churches like Pecka Patrizija, Decani, Gracanica, etc. (13-Shekulli 14). Therefore, Albanians are leaving the province's name Metohia to hide its historic Serb character.

4. Error:Ethnic Albanians in Kos Met (the following Albanians, as they call themselves), make up the 90% majority of the total population of KosMet.

True: In the last reliable census conducted in Kos Met in 1961, Albanians accounted for 67% of the general population, with (mainly) Serbs and others sharing the rest. While for later records (1971, 1981, 1991), Albanians refused to participate. All the figures cited for the post 1961 period are just estimates.

5. Error: Albanians are an autochthonic population in KosMet

True: In the Middle Ages, Kos Met was the central part of the Serbian state, culture and civilisation. Albanians were a small minority (about 2%, according to the Ottoman census at 1455), mainly nomad shepherds. They came to KosMet from North and Central Albania, mainly after the First Serb Migration in 1690 by Kos Met in Vojvodina (at that time part of the Habsburg Empire), after (at that time part of the Habsburg Empire), an uprising against Ottoman rule in 1689. When Kos Met was released from Ottoman rule to 1912, from Serbia, Serbs and Albanians equally divided the general population there (50% by 50%). All the original cannons (state names) in Kos Met were and are Slavic-Serbian, except very few of them -- contrary to the case in Central and South Albania. Albanians don't even have their own name for Kosovo that comes from their own language and, therefore, they are using a modified Serbian origin. The word Kos (as the foundation of the balloning) does not exist in Albanian. However, since 1999, many original cannons in Kos Met have been deliberately Albanised or renamed in order to lose a Serbian character.

6. Error:Kos matt is an undeveloped, poor region.

True: It is the most fertile land in Serbia (except Vojvodina). The average DNP per family is the same as the rest of Serbia. It is only low if it is estimated per capita because the Albanian family has six times as many children as the Serbian family (and that of the former Yugoslavia) on the issue. We refer to a proper family here, not the so-called tribe family, the vast Albanian, which could make up hundreds of members. In fact, by counting on the fact that proportionally more Albanian people are working in Western Europe, their income does not count when family income is assessed and KosMet seems to be better than the rest of Serbia. Kos Met is prosperous the region could be verified with direct inspection in the country. Kos matt is Europe's largest coal reservoir.

7. Error:The goal of Albanians is for an independent Kosovo.

True: It is a common goal for all Albanians to live in a single (unified) national state of Greater Albania. The political programme of a Greater Albania was drafted in 1878 by Prizren's First Albanian League (1878-1881). That goal has already been achieved practically. Kos Met is practically annexed by Albania, as there is no real border between Kos Met and Albania. As for Western Macedonia, it is the issue of the near future. The next step is Chamber, as the South Epirus (now in Greece) and Albanians from eastern Montenegro are called.

8. Error:Kosovo Serb deportation after June 1999 is an act of revenge

True: The Albanian process is the carried out ethnic cleansing of Kos Met went on over the past century and refers to all non-atlanders (Roma, Turks, Croats, etc.). It is a clear case of well planned ethnic cleansing, whose reasoning is an extreme xenophobia. In fact, Albania appears the cleanest ethnic state in Europe, 98%, with Greeks, Slavs, Jews, Roma, etc. expelled in one or another. After NATO's intervention is the 1999 Kos Met occupation, where “cleanness<x1 is the figure of 97%.

9. Error:KosMet once supported economically by the rest of the former Yugoslavia

True: Since Serbia's contribution from the Yugoslav Federal Fund to underdeveloped regions precisely complied with the amount donated by the Fund for Kos Met, it was, in fact, Serbia that helped KosMet build infrastructure, schools, Pristina University, hospitals, factories, mines, etc. Furthermore, since the Albanian population consists mainly of children and teenagers, who previously received help for children, was another source of large income from the rest of Serbia, which averaged fewer than 1.5 children per family (compared to 8 with Albanians).

10. Error:There is no entity like Greater Albania.

True: Although not published, maps of that projected unified national state of all Albanians appear from time to time in the Western press, whether clearly or as the region with a predominantly Albanian population. The issue with the latter is that these regions exceed the official maps of the future united Albanian state, and even include regions without Albanian populations at all.

11. Error:Albanians are the autochthonic population of the Balkans stemming from ancient Balkan Illyrian tribes.

True: They appear in the middle of the 11th century in Balkan history, and their origins seem uncertain (likely they came to the Balkans from the Caucasus Albania through Sicily, according to a Byzantine source, at 1043: Ataliota M. Corpus scriptian history. Bonnie: Weber, 1853. As for claims of legal heritage, it is more a political desire.
