This review is from: Kosovo (Hardcover)

The author, a recognized authority on the region, finally shares the many truths about Kosovo that have been so evasive in the revisionist history of recent months. A must-read for anyone interested in the background of this region, and anyone willing to obtain an objective review of the facts.

This review is from: Kosovo (Paperback)

Everybody who still argues about such chauvinistic thesis as "illyrian descent of albanians","late settling of Slavs" and other hypothesis set by german nazional-socialistic historians(Gustaff Kossina),should contemplate the facts in this book.The theory that Slavs were indigenious to Balkan peninsula,is gaining more and more suport amoung certain scientist.The fact is that Serbians are idigenious people for at least several millenia-anthropologicaly-and language is second class category when ethnicity is in question-and it is more and more plausible that illyrians were actualy Slavs-inscription by Illyrian tribe of Veneti are found to be Slavic.Fact is that Illyrians inhabited entire Balkan,but there is not a single enclave of Albanians outside the south-western part of it.The truth is that Albanians have no ties with Illyrians-they call themselves Shiptars and are actually two peoples-Tosks and Ghegs.That they are recent settlers in kosovo is proven by fact that in albania there is ratio Christian vs. Muslims 60:40,while in kosovo ratio is 2:98-because Turks collonised only Muslims.By reading this book,reader will get first-class knowledge about authochtonity of Serbs in kosovo and how this teritory was settled by Albanians only in last 300 years-and how their numerical predominance is for only last few decades. Everybody should know to make difference between petty Brussels propaganda and historic truth. This book proves that Kosovo was,is,and will be Serbian-by the virtue of historical logic-regardless of the fact that world is turned upside-down since march 24,1999-simply because of Serbs ancient mentality-not to put themselves volontarily to slavery-as many Eastern Europians gladly did.
