Kosovo

golden eagle

Battle of Kosovo field has only importance for Serbian people and it is a folklore...During 14th century Otomanic empire was trying to conquer all Europe...Turks the leading nation in Otoman Empire had made its eye on Byzantia and wanted to take its tresure. On the 28th of June 1389 Serbian army and Turkish had fought, and the both sides lost their rulers...Only problem for Serbs was that the Empire created by Emperor Dushan who has died by sugested poissonig because he wanted to lead Crusade against the Turks with help of Pope, and Serbian nobleman with help of Ortodox church killed this great ruler thinking he wanted to make Serbia Catolic religion, and empire was dying...Dushan was killed before Kosovo battle. Afther Kosovo battle Serbian Empire slowly was conquered by Turks, and Serbian people was in bondage for five centuries as many Balkan people, the Greeks, the Bulgarians etc etc...Turkish Otoman empire was harsh to conquered people...In Serbina people there is story about it in a form of Epic poem.Serbs think that Kosovo battle is a form of Serbian Golgotha and a form of martyrdom due to great influence of Ortodox church...But if you don't look nationalistic or religion form of story, Kosovo battle was important for slowing down the Turks from conquering the rest of Europe and was one of major battles in war of christian Europe against Otomanic empire, and also was preface of Battle of Vienna when Turks was finally stoped...

YES; their is nicee hot weather there in the summer; andd you can go to ULQIN/MONTENEGRO, which have VERY nice beaches - by bus will take about 10 hours. The people are nice, and everybody respects eachother.

Croatia of course, no doubt about that. It depends on how do you define stronger. If it's military power then Serbia is stronger. If it's sport then Serbia is stronger.

Yes Kosovo is a territory of Serbia that declared independence, but has yet to be recognized by enough nations to be sovereign.

Albania's imports and exports come from Montenegro, Italy and Greece. I just don't know what they are trading.

Kosovo is the province of Serbia,like Bavaria is the province of Germany.
Kosovo is still a part of Serbia, but Albanians from Kosovo want Kosovo to become a republic...This problem started during 80's and 90's of XX century...At begining there were equal Serbs and Albanians on Kosovo, but Albanians started buying land from Serbians, and gave them much more money than in reality the land costs...So many Serbs left Kosovo to live in capitol Belgrade...When Serbian population fell off Albanians started attacking some Serbs in minority, and they had support of US and NATO...Today tensions are big, since Kosovars, or Kosovo Albanians want etnic clean Kosovo from Serbs...Problem for Serbs is they don't look in reality, they think of Kosovo as Holy land or Serbian Jerusalem, becuse there was battle between Turks and Serbs in Middle ages, that was begining of destruction of Serbian Medevill state, while for Albanians Kosovo is strategic important...That tension did not existed during Yugoslavia, but started when Yugoslavia broke apart, with revision of nationalism in every state of former country...Problem that nobody looks is, for Serbians Kosovo should not be important as Holy land, but as a land where part of their people live, a living people, and Albanians should not be so agresive and secesionistic...They all should live normal lives...

Kosovo's national sport is guxhas. It is played in team of 21 people where one is the guxha and others are players. The guxha's have to stand naked while the players hit him on genitals with a unshaped piece of wood. Guxha's are prefered to be from Albanian ethnic majority living in Kosovo. The Guxha must remember to say "Guxha" to win, or die to lose. The sport has a very high fatality rate, since the Guxha is usually too stupid to remember what he needs to say. Therefore the Olympics are never planning to host in Kosovo.

The euro pre-dates the establishment of the Republic of Kosovo.

National Movement for the Liberation of Kosovo was created in 2004.

No, it is a former member of the Eastern Bloc- it's standards of living and infrastructure are not of the same high standard as those of the West, but it's still classed as a 'developed' nation and is by no means Third World.

...I don't know for sure, but the people in Kosovo call themselves Kosovar. But that's only in Albanian. However, since I have no idea what the English term is, I'd call them Kosovars. So the answer, it be Kosovar, right?

The Albanians took Kosovo from Serbs. That is the answer!!! Now, you can ask: WHEN DID THE ALBANIANS TAKE KOSOVO FROM SERBS.

Kosovo declared independence from Serbia on on February 17, 2008 but has not gained complete international recognition to allow it to become a member of the United Nations.

The term Kosovo War or Kosovo Conflict is used to describe two sequential, and at times parallel, armed conflicts in Kosovo. Just a couple of years ago very few people in the United States, Russia or Western Europe, beside experts on the Balkans, would have recognized the name Kosovo and still fewer would have known anything about this obscure Serbian province. Since early 1999 all the world?s attention has been concentrated on the events in this hot spot.

Clinton spoke in a public meeting about why we were getting involved. He said, trying to get public approval, that the reason the U.S. is getting involved is largely an economical reason. He said that this war would help the U.S. financially. By getting involved, we would become partners with Europe, thus increasing a trade relationship.
