[edit] Removed part

Removed part: Demographic projections of the future population of Serbia predict that in 2030, the population of Serbia will be composed of 7,200,000 Albanians and 6,300,000 Serbs. The projections are based on the fact that the ethnic Albanian population of Serbia doubles every twenty years (for example 646,000 Albanians in 1961; 1,226,000 Albanians in 1981), while the ethnic Serb population has remained at a number of approximately 6,000,000 (for example 6,016,000 Serbs in 1971; 6,352,000 Serbs in 2002). The slight increase of the Serb population is the result of immigration from Bosnia and Croatia rather than of natural growth.

This is highly disputable claim and, in general, xenophobic rhetorics in Serbia. There are a lot of other factors then pure "fact" that "ethnic Albanian population of Serbia doubles every twenty years". So, please, if you want to keep one disputed political xenophobic rhetorics in the article -- add relevant references before you back that in the article. --millosh (talk (sr:)) 21:44, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

E Miloše, what you think about this: http://panonija.blog.hr/arhiva-2005-07.html Quote: "Iako je Kosovo puno Albanaca vec negdje dva stoljeca, Srbi su uvjereni da je to njihov teritorij. Ljudi mi moramo moliti Boga da Kosovo ostane u Srbiji. Zasto? Vrlo jednostavno. Za 100 godina Albanci ce u tome slucaju biti apsolutna vecina u Srbiji. Kako je Srbija najheterogenija europska drzava, puno je svih nacionalnih manjina od Madjara, Hrvata, Bosnjaka, Rumunja, Slovaka, Roma i ne znam koga sve ne (e da ima Kineza), ako se u tu racunicu ubroje Albanci, srpska nacionalna vecina ce se istopiti kad velis keks. Kako Albanci imaju astronomski prirodni prirastaj od oko 20 promila (nitko ziv u Europi to nema, osim Roma), Srbija ce postati albanska. Albanski ce postati sluzbeni jezik u Srbiji. Albanci ce sjediti u srpskom parlamentu. Hahahahhahah. A vrli Beograd ce postati Beljgrad. U ocekivanju toga blazenog dana kada ce Romi i Albanci biti vecina u Srbiji. Pero vise nego veseli". Interesting text, right? I really do not see reason that we remove section about future demographics of Serbia, although, I will try to find data from some official sources of the statistical office of Serbia to post it here.

[edit] This page is incomplete

This page contains only info about Ethnic composition of Serbia there is no info about religions literacy, life expectancy at birth etc.. this is the worst demographics article on wikipedia —Preceding unsigned comment added by Defufna (talk • contribs)

Welcome to the Balkans. Who cares about literacy, life expectancy etc? It's only important that there's more us than them.

Besides...

[edit] Future demographic trends

Since Central Serbia and Vojvodina have very low natural increase of population, while Kosovo have the largest natural increase of population in Europe, some demographers predict that already by 2010, the population of Central Serbia will number only 2,100,000 people, the population of Vojvodina only 800,000 people, while population of Kosovo will increase to 4,400,000. [1]

I deleted this. People, it says that by 2010, in four years, the population of Central Serbia and Vojvodina would be more than behalfed(from 5,466,009 to 2,100,000 for Central Serbia), which is just ridiculous. When I opened the so-called reference, it turned out a shallow newspapers article which had "we all gone die" low-brow bombasticness all over it. First, after SOMEONE by a name of Biljana Spasic states these absurd numbers in a couple of sentences without going anywhere further(I bet she is supposed to be some sort of "expert"), the article goes into a crapload of rhetorics without any in-depth statistics to back-up the hyperbolic claims.

And even worse, that thing stands alone, which would get a reader to believe that this outlandish and obviously POV(meant to be bombastic) study is a sole fact.

Get an official study. -- Henk65 18:57, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
