- I would suggest this article to all those interested in the recent developments in the Balkans. It's a great analysis of certain threats to Kosova's stability, such as the recent threat of Kosova Serbs to secede Mitrovica from Kosova by declaring it an independent region. The article is not great because I say so or because I'd love so, but because of the historical facts it exposes. The author, is a Greek academic of Turkish origins. February 26, 2008
- Another article by the renowned scholar and translator Robert Elsie attempts to show, based on historical evidence, that Kosova Albanians (or defectively referred to as "ethnic Albanians") and Albanians in Albania are, indeed, one people of one nation. I quote the last paragraph of the article:
-
The tortuous course of Albanian history cemented two distinct identities, and they will no doubt continue to exist for some time. But they will grow together whether they want to or not. Kosova’s political independence will now offer Albanians there an opportunity to achieve their own self-definition in light of the history they have lived through.
- NOTE: The scholar refers to the newborn state as 'Kosova' and not 'Kosovo', as it is generally referred to. February 26, 2008
