| | Kosovo War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | It claimed that Kosovo's status in 1986 was a worse historical defeat for the Serbs than any event since liberation from the Ottomans in 1804, thus ranking it above such catastrophes as the Nazi occupation or the First World War occupation of Serbia by the Austro-Hungarians. | | | With Kosovo's Communist Party effectively broken up by Milošević's crackdown, the position of dominant Albanian political party passed to the Democratic League of Kosovo, led by the writer Ibrahim Rugova. | | | In Kosovo growing Albanian nationalism and separatism in response to persecution led to growing ethnic and religous tensions between Christian Serbs and predominantly Muslim Albanians. |

| | Gendercide Watch: Kosovo |
| | The political status and governance of Kosovo remains uncertain at the time of writing, but there are indications that support for the KLA has dramatically waned, and that the moderate leadership of Ibrahim Rugova is gaining ascendance. | | | Kosovo, like Bosnia, historically demarcated a boundary between the Orthodox Christian and Ottoman Muslim populations of the Balkans. | | | This clashed with the aspirations of the ethnic Albanians of Kosovo, some 90% of the population, who had enjoyed considerable autonomy within Marshal Tito's socialist federation, and now watched as that autonomy was stripped away. |

| | Milosevic et al. - Second Amended Indictment |
| | Kosovo Albanians were frequently intimidated, assaulted or killed in public view to enforce the departure of their families and neighbors. | | | Many Kosovo Albanians who were not directly forcibly expelled from their communities fled as a result of the climate of terror created by the widespread or systematic beatings, harassment, sexual assaults, unlawful arrests, killings, shelling and looting carried out across the province. | | | These actions were undertaken in order to erase any record of the deported Kosovo Albanians’ presence in Kosovo and to deny them the right to return to their homes. |

| | Kosovo - UN Security Council - Global Policy Forum |
| | The new Foreign Minister of Serbia and Montenegro, Vuk Draskovic, claims that an independent Kosovo is "impossible" and "very dangerous" as it might generate an unending circle of violence between Serbs and Albanians in the province. | | | Human Rights Watch documents how Serb, Roma and Ashkali communities in Kosovo were abandoned by UN peacekeepers and NATO troops, many of whom simply locked the gates to their bases during the violence in March. | | | This article argues that the UN has helped fuel ethnic conflicts in Kosovo by offering political posts in the province "on the basis of balancing ethnic groups." Dire economic conditions, such as high unemployment rates, have also played a role in stirring the violence in the province, says the Socialist Worker. |

| | In the months that followed, hundreds of people were killed and more than 200,000 were driven from their homes; most of these people were ethnic Albanians. | | | Rising Serbian resentment against Albanians resulted in protest marches and helped facilitate the rise to power of Slobodan Milošević in 1987. | | | As Serbia’s Communist party leader, Milošević brought an end to Kosovo's autonomy in March 1989, placing the province under de facto military occupation. |
