Even thoung Mr. Davis has been in Serbia Belgrade etc. He hasn’t been in Kosovo or Bosnia. I don’t think he was shown what serbs have done to Albanians In Kosovo. They were denied the right to use their language, to go to schools, practice their religion freely, their autonomy granted to them in 1974 was stripped. I have Kosovar friends that told me that their albanain friands and them were expelled from school simply for being Albanain and to quote on what the Serbian police told them: “This school is for Serbians only, not for Siptar dogs”. They had to be home schooled. Also they were aways regarded as 2nd class citizens since they were not slavs. People need their rights to exist in order to coexist with their neighbors.

Now not all Serbs are radicals as they are portrayed in the media, and they are very nationalistic people like most in the world. Granted that Serbia has moved forward into more moderate leadership and removed Milosevic from power, the Kosovars could not take the chance of having Serbian misrule again. But previous governments have mismanaged and oppressed the Albanians to a point that there isn’t an easy coexistence between the Serbs And Albanians. Thus Kosovar Albanians cannot trust to being ruled as they were before.
