I think the west is wrong in demanding independence for Kosovo. Kosovo historically has been part of the Serbian nation.
		
		
	 
Serbian state was born in Kosovo and Metohija !
 
 
	
	
		
		
			Some of the most important Serbian monasteries and historic places are in Kosovo.
		
		
	 
There are over 1 300 medieval Serbian monasteries(some under UNESCO protection!) and in period 1998-2004 Albanians had demolished,burnt or totally crashed 200 of them,including UNESCO protected monastery of Godmother Ljevishka from 9th century , rebuilt in 14th cen. in former capital of Serbian Empire,Prizren 
 
  
  
 
	
	
		
		
			Just because of demographic changes in the last 200 years, giving ethnic Albanians a majority of the population, is not a good reason for independence.
		
		
	 
By gallops done by Turks in 19th century in Kosovo and Metohija lived just 4% of islamic population including Turks and Albanians all together!
During WW2 as a part of Hitler's coalition,Albanians did masacre and exoded a lot of Serbs ( as they did in WW1 too!!!) and after 1945,Tito and his communists didn't allow Serbs to come back and let Albanians who came from Albania during WW2 to stay!There were 50-50 Serbs-Albanians then.
Albanians have the largest demographic enlargment in Europe ( 700%,after come Turks with 400%).Many Albanian families in Kosovo and Metohija have 14 kids per family,but 80% of Albanians down are uneducatted and poor and do nothing,but criminal!They make kids just for great Albania!
 
 
So,they became majority after WW2.
In big protests in 1980. they asked Kosovo Republic!Then Miloshevic wasn't a president!They just used the fact he had bad relations with some western leaders!They just always cared for Greater Albania!
 
 
	
	
		
		
			It is true that under Milosevic, the ethnic Albanians were mistreated badly.
		
		
	 
This needs discusion too as they tryed to do separation and he couldn't watch it and allow it!British fight against Irish separatists,Spain against Catalan or Basqui separatists,Turkey against Kurds,etc!Just Serbs should allow them to do separation!Albanians had WEAPONS!How come?
 
 
I'll repeat that they did protests in Tito's Yugoslavia too,when there was no Milosevic!
 
 
	
	
		
		
			But he is gone now and they are no longer being persecuted.
		
		
	 
This just show that they abused human rights!They are liers and they care just for theritory!!!
 
 
	
	
		
		
			Using the principle of demographics, where a minority over time becomes the majority, sets a terrible precedent. The US should think twice about this. Soon, California, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona will have a majority Mexican-American population. All these states were once part of Mexico. Using the same priciple, then all these states should be given their independence, or should re-join Mexico.
		
		
	 
Not just this case,but Qurdistan,Basqia,Catalonia,Corsica,North Ireland,Wels,Scotland,Belgium and Flamania,Sicilia,etc,etc!Also Italy want back the former Italian lands which after WW2 were joined to today's Croatia-Istra,then Aland,Avhasia...Etc,etc!
 
  
  
 
	
	
		
		
			If Kosovo deserves independence merely because ethnic Albanians are now the majority, then the Serbian majority areas of Bosnia should be able to join Serbia.
		
		
	 
Right!

 And Bosnia was one of the first Serbian states in 7-9th century,  when we came to this region,but some politics,like Blair ,
