Distorting the truth on Kosovo

 

In the Op-Ed "Fixing Kosovo" (Jan. 16), the author turned the Kosovo tragedy
on its head. In April 1941, the Serb population in the province of Serbia
was more than 50 percent of the total; today it is barely 10 percent.

In World War II, more than 200,000 Kosovo Serbs were expelled by German,
Italian and Albanian fascists. The terror continued by the Albanians, under
Tito's rule, and was followed by the U.S.-NATO aggression against Yugoslavia
in 1999.

The ensuing expulsion of an additional 200,000 Serbs and 100,000 other
minorities, along with the deluge of the immigrants from Albania, who
repossessed the property of the cleansed non-Albanians, set the demographic
picture of Kosovo as it is now.

As a reporter, I am appalled by such a brazen distortion of the truth in
this article.
