Who knows what will happen in the future. Is it true that there is a border dispute between Kosovo and Macedonia? Is there any progress?

Everybody knows Kosovo is the part of Serbia, but no one cares less... What are we talking about - national majorities in some parts of any country or political borders? By your stating every minority in some part of any country could proclaim independence in the region where they have local majority (Hungarians in Slovakia and Romania, Romanians in Hungary, Germans, French and Italian in Switzerland, Austrians in Italy, Slovenians in Austria and Italy and so on and so forth...)
Are we talking international laws and borders or what???

Not true - after the 1974. SFRY consitution Kosovo was autonomous region in Serbia, as well as Vojvodina. Therefore not the same as CRO and SLO etc which were republics, but THE PART of republic of Serbia... Speaking of the same consitution, it delivered another nation to the world - while everywhere muslims are a religious entity, in Bosnia it was proclaimed a nation!!! Why, when those are Serbs and Croats who accepted muslim religion while occupied by the Turks? Now we're going off-topic... By the same constitution, other republics (SLO, CRO...) had the right to separate ONLY IF all the other republics do agree - which wasn't the situation in '91, but that's another story... Again, Kosovo WAS NOT a republic, it was autonomous region... That's why Albanians asked for Kosovo to become a republic in the first place since 1981... 1981??? But that's 25 years before all the hell broke loose on Kosovo??? Yep, that's right - all the story behind Kosovo is Albanians' intention to separate from Serbia. Now we'll see where this story is going to end, since everybody knows about the Albanian riots in Macedonia 2000/2001. But, wait... Milosevic wasn't in Macedonia at that time... Then why the riots? Oops, may be, just may be, they'd like to take some part of Macedonia as well? They have majority in western Macedonia, so the world should let them do it, right? Who's next, north-western Greece or southern Montenegro? Nah, Greece - no chance, it's NATO and EU...

Hello Profa,


Oh boy, it is kind of complicated and screwed up isn't it ??

Regards
Kruska

You tell me? Let me remind you that I I live here...
The worst issue is when I have to explain something to somebody who didn't even hear about Kosovo until '99...

I just hope you guys can all work your problems out. I mean the whole region.

I spent some time in the forumer Yugoslavia in the late 80s and early 90s with the family on vacation several times. We had friends from what is now Croatia as well as what is now Serbia.

I allways thought it was a beautiful region, and I especially loved the food.

When I went to Kosovo in 2002, I found it quite sad what had happened to the whole region.
