[EN]STATUS OF eKOSOVO AND THE UPCOMIG POLL
Obersoldat
Couple of days ago admins announced addition of eAlbania and eKosovo into the game.And ever since that first second of annoucment there has been a mass histerya among eSerbs that eKosovo will be added as independent.To have respect toward Serbs they made the decision that eRepublik community votes in a poll and decides its status.
Since Brasil is far away from the Balkans and many of you do not have such intimate knowdlege about this matter,I took it upon myself,as a person who witnessed these latest events, to bring you facts about eKosovo's history,and its status so that you can bring a decision for yourself.The purpuse of this article is not to offend anybody,but to bring pure facts and inform eRepublik community about RL Kosovo and its people.
Flag of Kosovo
6th century AD -Slavs settle at areas of today's Balkan penninsula,including Kosovo
1071 AD- Bulgarian Empire gets renewed at Kosovo,and these lands are permanently taken from the Bizantine Empire
13th century AD-Kosovo becomes center of Serbian Orthodox Church
1389 AD –Serbia loses Kosovo on the battle on Kosovo field and it becomes a part of Ottoman Empire,and a lot of Albanians and Turks settle on it.
1455 AD- Kosovo becomes ''sandzak''(turkish word for ''province'') and is part of Rumelia
1910 AD- Albanians organize resistance war against Ottomans
1913 AD- Serbia conquers Kosovo for the first time since they lost it 524 years ago
1915 AD-Albanians revolt and Serbia loses Kosovo again after it held it for 2 years which is now under Bulgarian and Austo-Hungarian rule
1918 AD- Kosovo becomes part of Kingdom of Serbs,Croats and Slovenians(later renamed Kingdom of Yugoslavia)

1945 AD- Kosovo becomes Autonomus province in Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia
1968 AD- Albanians again rise against Yugoslavia,and Yugoslav National Army is called to crush the rebellion
1974 AD- Republic of Yugoslavia changes its constitution and grants Kosovo as autonomus province same rights as Republics,and there is important to mention ''right of selfdetermination'' meaning that if a people decide to become independent,they have a right to do so.
(Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia(SFRJ) consisted of six Republics-Montenegro,Macedonia,Bosnia and Herzegovina,Croatia,Slovenia and Serbia,and two autonomus provinces Kosovo and Vojvodina with each having the right to independence from the constitution of 1974)
1989 AD-After the death of Marshall Josip Broz Tito in 1980,life president of Republic of Yugoslavia,Serbs PTO the country,and decide to abolish the constitution from 1974,particulary ''right of selfdetermination'' to strenghten the central power in Belgrade.In protest,Republics Croatia,Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina call for referendums to become independent,and their peoples decide to become independent with majority of votes.But Kosovo's ''right of selfdetermination'' is promptly abolished .Kosovo in response brings its own new constitution and declares independance.
1992 AD- Kosovo organizes referendum on independence,which passes with great majority but it is not recognized by Serbia
1996 AD-Relations between Kosovo and Serbia escalate and war breaks out between Serbia and Freedom Army of Kosovo
1999 AD-NATO bombs Serbia,and takes over Kosovo declaring it its ''area under protection''
2008 AD-Kosovo declares independence from Serbia and it is recognized by 84 countries
-Ethinc composition of Kosovo
According to CIA Factbook assesments from 2009 Kosovo has 2.3 million people.Albanians made 88% of that sum,Serbs 7% and the other minorities 5%.
-Facts summed up
Last time Serbs held Kosovo by themselves was in 14th century and for two years from 1913-1915,after 524 years.From 1918-1941 it is a part of Kingdom of Yugoslavia where along Serbs is under Croatia and Slovenia.From 1945-1989 it is seperate province in Republic of Yugoslavia,with the right to declare independence from the constitution of 1974.In 1989 it has declared independence and in 1996 fought in war against Serbia.Since 1999 it is under NATO protection.It has declared its independence in 2008 and was recognized by 84 countries since then.Serbs make 7% of Kosovo population,and Albanians 88%.

KOSOVO IS NOT SERBIA !!!

@AmaroRS The greedy pig Serbs want Kosovo to be a region for them.
We want Kosova to be an independent eCountry.
vote
eKosovo is next ecountry (after eAlbania)
\o
great propaganda, and as every propaganda its saying just half of the truth
educate yourself a bit on this subject
http://thebloodyellowhouse.wordpress.com/
you really want to have that kind of allies?
Freedom army of Kosovo?
Buhahahahaha
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2EFFBpoOu4&feature=related It's free ,,Kosovo''?
You forgot 2004, when NATO evicted half million Serbs from Kosovo. You also forgot the 1941-1945 period, when Kosovo was part of Albania, puppet state of Italy, when Albanians were in the process of destroying everything that is Serbian in Kosovo. You also forgot the burning of great medieval monasteries in Kosovo and Metohija(most of you are Christians and you don't care at all, thank you so much - . - ).You also forget that Kosovo is now the center of drug trafficking in Europe. You forget that their prime minister, Hashim Tachi, is a former terrorist. You also forget that USA built their biggest military base outside of USA in Kosovo, when they took it over. Kosovo is not their puppet at all. There is a lot more people don't know about Kosovo since USA is so good with propaganda.
But it's ok, who cares about the little people, in the great scheme of things, only the big matter. Billions of human lives are expendable in this world, money isn't, so it seems.
Yes, these people are not the kindest ones. Yes, they are muslims. So what? Are the Serbians better? Look, this is quotation from wikipedia:
"During the conflict, roughly a million ethnic Albanians fled or were forcefully driven from Kosovo. Altogether, more than 11,000 deaths have been reported to Carla Del Ponte by her prosecutors.[91] Some 3,000 people are still missing, of which 2,500 are Albanian, 400 Serbs and 100 Roma.[92] Ultimately by June, Milošević had agreed to a foreign military presence within Kosovo and withdrawal of his troops."
The Serbians authorities also tried to erase the indentity of the people who fled or were forcefully driven from Kosovo by confiscating and destroing their documents.
So? The people living in Kosovo are not Serbs, and never have been Serbs - they say it. Yugoslavia was artificial union of people who were not Serbs, and logicaly it divided to its natural countries. Just Kosovo has still to do it. The Kosovo people are not Serbians, and want independance. Who are the Serbians to control them, and not give them the rights to live freely? Why should the Serbians keep Kosovo in the teritories of their country, after we see in the article, Kosovo has been Serbian almost never for the last centuries?
nice history class!
To be historically realistic... Kosovo has been longer under Bulgarian rule then under Serbian 😃
Hail Albania !
Hail Kosovo !
kosovo je bilo, jeste i bice srpsko!
hanibalbg
Why Bulgarians hate Turks?
Yes, they are muslims. So what? Are the Bulgarian better?
Seems to Bulgarians have double standards.
Kosovo is Serbia of course
The only thing I could conclude out of this article is that from 1999-2011 "Kosovo" is ethnically cleansed terrorist institution, international Law and human rights black hole.
Kosovo and Metohia is Serbia, and serving historical facts in a wrong context will not neglect that fact.
Your main argument is that Kosovo and Metohia is not Serbian since it was under Ottoman rule for 5 centuries?! So I believe most of nowadays BiH, Serbia, Bulgaria, Macedonia, even parts of Greece and Romania are simply... Turkey? : D
What an argumentation! I couldn't expect unbiased stance from a Croat, I'm not surprised.
"1999 AD-NATO bombs Serbia,and takes over Kosovo declaring it its area under protection"
You could have simply written entire point in one sentence. NATO bombs Serbia in order to get permission to establish second largest American military base in Europe (in exchange for turning blind eye to drug distribution and human organs trafficking).
HanibalBG
That's what Wikipedia says. None of the "crimes" were ever proven on court since they were staged and fitted in order to justify NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999.
Zašto je izbio rat uopšte u Jugi
Pojedini narodi su imali viši natalitet nego drugi i njihovi nacionalstčki lideri su hteli da vlast ide sa jednog naroda na drugi a strane obaveštajne službe su iskoristile to.
mozi
Rat u Jugi je izbio jer Juga nije bila rob međunarodnih finansijsih institucija, dugove je pravila najviše prema Sovjetskom Savezu (gde su postojali barter aranžmani, pa se otplaćivalo u inače nekonkurentnoj robi koja je tamo prolazila, a YU privreda bila time stimulisana).
Juga je imala samoodrživu ekonomiju i bila je pojam za tadašnju Mađarsku, Rumuniju, Bugarsku, Grčku, čak i Italiju.
Nacionalističke tenzije ne stvaraju se same po sebi - one se raspaljuju ciljano i vremenom. I spolja.
Simple solution ...
ADD EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY
It will create more regions which in turn creates more resources and more diversity
It's a win win situation for eRepublik
P.S. I would like a space program so ....
BRING ON THE MOON \o/
(and even water would be nice, why no navy or air force?)

LOL at Serbia wanting Kosovo.
Kosovo is Kosovo not Kosobia
@Goxi HN
You bring up a single example of some serial killer and your claim is that entire nation is like that?Great argument.What are you,2 years old?
@Nemamja
I didn't forget that.But I also didn't forget what you did to them in 1996,when you rolled in your tanks in Kosovo.I did not mention that,so I will not mention victims at all.And from 1941-1945 there has been a lot of them in the entire world,but doing the same shit in 1996 is not the same.
@Lunatic2903
My main point is that in Kosovo now lives 88% of Albanians and 7% of Serbs.And they have the right of selfdetermination since 1974 consitution.And as Croat,I'm a bit sensitive to you claiming lands.You did claim that Croatia is Serbian,and some of you claim this to this day.Americans having a base there is not relevant to the point.And this about having a selfsustainable economy,pih.Devaluation of dinar was already hardcore by the time the Yugoslavia fell apart.It would have chrashed sooner if there was no workers working in Germany and sending the money home to their families.
@Obersoldat: Yes, they ethnically cleansed the territory of all non-albanian population. Only small enclaves survived their cleansing. Does that prove the territory is theirs?
Independence for Kosovo! Screw eSerbia 😛
@Hostilian
Oh please.Check your history dude.Ever since the the first population list there has been more Albanians there then Serbs.And this clensing,it it happend,happend in 14th century then.You have no right to these lands.Go eff yourselves and produce 3 million Serbs there and then you can speak of that being Serbia.But Kosovo has the right to be independent,since the constitution of Yugoslavia in 1974,ame as republics.But then you claimed that all republics are Serbian,and now you claime Kosovo is Serbia.And you expect us to support you,after you 20 years ago did the same thing to us.Yea right.
Reče Hrvat od 2k snage ...idi leči komplekse u RL...Dosta Hrvata je uz nas !
@ALL SERBIANS:
KOSOVO IS INDEPENDENT COUnTRY! DEAL WITH IT.
xD Je,kao što je bilo i '91.Vi Srbi ste stvarno smiješni.Ajde molim te opovrgni jednu stvar koju sam napisao da nije točna.A mojih 2k snage,to jest 3k kakve ima veze sa Kosovom i RL.To ti je argument.xD
@Ameri oprem dobro kakve veze ima to što on ima 2k snage??? znaci li da ako u erepu imaš 2k snage da nemaš pojima o kosovu u Rlu??!?!?!? lol
Why only Croats and Bulgarians want to support false state. Very strange, they interfere with something that has nothing to do with their contry.
They do not care about Albanians- only a naive man does not see this.

They do not turn a blind eye to that. It is the US military that runs the business. In Afghanistan Talibans ruled that drug production is un-Islamic, so the production pretty much stopped (in 2001), guess what happened after the war? The biggest terrorist and crime organisation of all times : D

@betega
Dispute the facts or STFU.
We lived in the same country,we faced the same Serbian propaganda.And now that we are a bit influencial country,if we don't speak out,who will.
First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me.

1.i meni najvačnije : D @junakII nisu srbi poznati kao "The keepers of the gate" nego hrvati i to kao "Antemurale Christianitatis" (predziđe kršćanstva),čisto da se zna da ste pali rano i da ste nebitni tu : D
2.Kosovo većina država UN-a nije priznala kao neovisnu državu.
Bitna je činjenica da Srbija nema vlast na Kosovu.
Po meni za igru bi bilo zanimljivije da se doda kao neovisna država...Čisto zbog toga,ne zato jer favoriziram albance ili nešto treće...

Want to dispute the facts about drug dealing and human organs trade, or you prefer to STFU?
po vašoj logici mi možemo tražiti cjelu BiH , pola Crne Gore - pol zemlja zapadno od Drine i cjelu Vojvodinu za naš teritorij je tam ima iopak jedan do dva hrvata (zapadno od drine) il mnogo više - ipak smo oko 1000 godina time vladali (bosna, boka kotarska) ili pak neš kraće (zapad drine, vojvodina )
zaboravih trst (na kraju drugog svjetskog je bio u našim rukama a onda predan kukavicama od terorista)
@Obersoldat: You are the one who should read more history. Kosovo has been inhabited by Serbs since 6th century CE. The Ottoman invaders are the ones that favored and transported Squiptars to Kosovo from neighboring Albania (where they were brought in about 11th century) and even that didn't happen in 14th century like you say but in 17th and 18th centuries, Serbs were exiled and went to the north. Hitler is also the one that favored Albanians. NATO is the one that favors Albanians. Ottomans were exiled. Hitler was exiled.
@betega
it has to do something with our country, since, all started there - Serbs acused us for not sending our police to protect endangered Serbs, soon after that, Serbs atacked us...and, when they say it was hystorical Serb teritory, Vojvodina never was and now they hold it - double standards, ofc, what else to expect. I regret Serbs, but, reality is that nobody wants to live in same country with them, as long as they dream about Big Serbia which, I suspect, they'll never stop
@Hostilian ako ćemo tako i vi ste nas protjerali iz Srijema,Sjeverne Bačke...
@Kolorowy
Hahahaha.So if a country has a high crime rate,then it has no right to be a country?On what planet is that?
Dispute the article.Are in Kosovo 88% of Albanians and 7% of Serbs?Does the Kosovo as autonomus region have the right to become independendent from the constitution of Yugoslavia in 1974 same as Croatia,Bosnia and Herzegovina,Slovenia,Macedonia and others did?Or just STFU.Don't teach me about the history of my country.
