[edit] If I may initiate
This article, as well as Albanians in Kosovo, should have a part, be that in Culture or Religion part attached to it, that the conflicts amongst Albanians and Serbs were never religious. The criminal actions that Milosevic's troops commited over religious sites in Kosovo, or the unrests in march 2004 are not any indication that the people of Kosovo supported them or had religious intolerance towards each other. The source [1] is only amongst some that proves me right. Ilir pz 23:19, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
I love how Serbs make up facts & history as they go along and as the need arises. Now it's Masses of Albanian Muslims who "immigrated" into Kosovo. Never mind the fact that Illyrians-Dardanians, and later on their descendants the present day Albanians, were there way before the Slavs invaded in the 6-8th century. But then again what can you expect from a nation whose whole history and national psyche is drenched in propaganda. God help them, for they fail to see how miserably they have failed in every single initiative that they ever took. GD
- How is there continuation between Ancient Illyrians and modern-day Albanians? You've got a gap of more than 2,000 years. :S --PaxEquilibrium 11:19, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
Yes; The majority of Illyrians were assimilated by SLAVS. SO ALbanians are NOT illyrians 'successors' as you like to make up. If anything it is slavs. Albanians are a small minority of Illyrians that remained in the albania region that were not assimilated by slavs.
The Albanians converted to Islam during ottoman times. THey then migrated to Kosovo after many serbs were killed and mistreated by Muslims. LAter in the 19th century, this mistreatment continued, and many left yet again. In contrast Albanians had 12 children per family, and grew like rabbits.

[edit] Hagiography?
It’s curious to see that there is no images of persons in this article, just Orthodox Church icons. Where is the Serbian people from Kosovo?
[edit] Some alteration and addition
Hi,
I changed this sentence:
- In total, 156 Serbian Orthodox churches and monasteries were destroyed during the unrest in Kosovo.
To this:
- In total, 156 Serbian Orthodox churches and monasteries have been destroyed since June 1999.
And I added this:
- During the unrest in Kosovo, 35 churches and monasteries were destroyed or seriously damaged.
