No place for them both
Article Abstract:
Kosovo, Yugoslavia, was captured in 1912 by Serbia, and became part of Yugoslavia. Serbs form a minority of the population of Kosovo, but were a majority in the Middle Ages. Albanians entered Kosovo after a battle in 1389, but some Serbs remained, and there were Serbian monasteries and churches. Serb settlers were sent in after 1912, but Serbs were expelled in the 1939-1945 war, when much of Kosovo was joined to Albania, under the control of Italy. Kosovo was allowed greater autonomy under Marshal Tito in the 1960s. Slobodan Milosevic took away Kosovo's autonomy shortly after becoming Yugoslav president, and put down resistance, refusing to agree to a peace proposal.
