Albanians are the largest ethnic group in Kosovo, commonly called Kosovar Albanians, Kosovan Albanians, and Kosovo Albanians. According to the 1991 Yugoslav census, boycotted by Albanians, there were 1,596,072 ethnic Albanians in Kosovo or 81.6% of population. By the estimation in year 2000, there were between 1,584,000 and 1,733,600 Albanians in Kosovo or 88% of population; as of today their population is 92,93%. Albanians of Kosovo are Ghegs. They speak Gheg Albanian, more specifically the Northern and Northeastern Gheg variants.
Kosovar Albanians are ethnic Albanians with ancestry or descent in the region, regardless of whether they live in Kosovo. A large Kosovar Albanian diaspora has formed since the Kosovo War, mostly in Germany and Switzerland. An estimated 500,000 Kosovar Albanians live in either Switzerland or Germany (about 300,000 in Germany and 200,000 in Switzerland), accounting for roughly one fifth of the total number of Kosovar Albanians.
Kosovo is one of the youngest countries in the world and is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its independence from Serbia. This fascinating region has a rich, deep, and sometimes violent history. Here’s everything you need to know.

How did Kosovo become a country?
Kosovo, Europe's newest country, was formed 10 years ago this week. It is peaceful today, but the path to its creation lay in one of Europe's most brutal sectarian conflicts. Warning: this film contains graphic content.

In 2008, Kosovo became Europe’s newest country. This small, landlocked state of two million people emerged as a result of one of Europe’s most brutal sectarian conflicts since the second world war.
Today Kosovo is peaceful, but poor. Unemployment is high and the grey economy accounts for about 30% of the country’s economic activity. And Kosovans are the only citizens in Europe to not have visa free access to the rest of the continent.
The country is still divided along ethnic lines. 90% of it...

YUGOSLAVIA: KOSOVO: ANGRY ETHNIC ALBANIANS CHEER AS SERBS LEAVE
(17 Jun 1999) Albanian/Nat
As French K-FOR forces moved into the town of Vucitern, about 30 kilometres (20 miles) northwest of Pristina, ethnic Albanians cheered them on.
At the same time they kicked and spat at departing Serb civilians fleeing the province in cars and buses in fear of Albanian reprisals.
Serb police could only watch from the roadside as their countrymen left and the French soldiers moved in.
Soon they would be on their way too.
SOUNDBITE: (Serbo-Croat)
"I am leaving but it is not my choice."
SUPER CAPTION: Serb policeman
Vucitern was completely destroyed in the war and emptied of most civilians.
Now the people are back, under the watchful eye of the K-FOR guard.

Growing up in Kosovo: I’ve never met a Serb - BBC Stories

20-year-old Arian has never even spoken to a Serb. After some hesitation, he has agreed to meet 16-year-old Selena on the bridge that separates his community from hers. Film by BBC Scotland's The Nine.

Kosovo, Europe's newest country, was formed 10 years ago this week. It is peaceful today, but the path to its creation lay in one of Europe's most brutal sectarian conflicts. Warning: this film contains graphic content.

In 2008, Kosovo became Europe’s newest country. This small, landlocked state of two million people emerged as a result of one of Europe’s most brutal sectarian conflicts since the second world war.
Today Kosovo is peaceful, but poor. Unemployment is high and the grey economy accounts for about 30% of the country’s economic activity. And Kosovans are the only citizens in Europe to not have visa free access to the rest of the continent.
The country is still divided along ethnic lines. 90% of its people are Albanian speakers and mostly Muslim. About 10% are ethnic Serbs, who are Orthodox Christians and live mostly in the north.
Why did such a small corner of the Balkans come to the world’s attention in 1999?
The origins of modern Kosovo date back over a century. When the new state of Albania was formed in 1912, Kosovo was not included within its borders. Instead, Kosovars found themselves ruled by Serbia. As a Serbian province, Kosovo later became part of a new country: Yugoslavia.
With the fall of communism across central and eastern Europe, Yugoslavia began to disintegrate in the early 1990s. As Croatia and Bosnia & Hercegovina declared independence local Serbs who wanted to remain in the same state as Serbia went to war. They were fully backed by Serbia and the Serbian-controlled Yugoslav armies.
When those wars ended in 1995 Kosovo remained part of Serbia. Ethnic Albanians in Kosovo sensed that they too could gain their own independence.
But Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic, wanting to keep what was left of Yugoslavia together, did not want to let Kosovo go. He’d made his intentions clear in a speech some years earlier.

(17 Jun 1999) Albanian/Nat
As French K-FOR forces moved into the town of Vucitern, about 30 kilometres (20 miles) northwest of Pristina, ethnic Albanians cheered them on.
At the same time they kicked and spat at departing Serb civilians fleeing the province in cars and buses in fear of Albanian reprisals.
Serb police could only watch from the roadside as their countrymen left and the French soldiers moved in.
Soon they would be on their way too.
SOUNDBITE: (Serbo-Croat)
"I am leaving but it is not my choice."
SUPER CAPTION: Serb policeman
Vucitern was completely destroyed in the war and emptied of most civilians.
Now the people are back, under the watchful eye of the K-FOR guard.
In the distance, as the Serbs departed, burning houses could be seen - thought to have been set ablaze by fleeing Serbs, perhaps as a remembrance of their time there.

Kosovo, Europe's newest country, was formed 10 years ago this week. It is peaceful today, but the path to its creation lay in one of Europe's most brutal sectarian conflicts. Warning: this film contains graphic content.

In 2008, Kosovo became Europe’s newest country. This small, landlocked state of two million people emerged as a result of one of Europe’s most brutal sectarian conflicts since the second world war.
Today Kosovo is peaceful, but poor. Unemployment is high and the grey economy accounts for about 30% of the country’s economic activity. And Kosovans are the only citizens in Europe to not have visa free access to the rest of the continent.
The country is still divided along ethnic lines. 90% of its people are Albanian speakers and mostly Muslim. About 10% are ethnic Serbs, who are Orthodox Christians and live mostly in the north.
Why did such a small corner of the Balkans come to the world’s attention in 1999?
The origins of modern Kosovo date back over a century. When the new state of Albania was formed in 1912, Kosovo was not included within its borders. Instead, Kosovars found themselves ruled by Serbia. As a Serbian province, Kosovo later became part of a new country: Yugoslavia.
With the fall of communism across central and eastern Europe, Yugoslavia began to disintegrate in the early 1990s. As Croatia and Bosnia & Hercegovina declared independence local Serbs who wanted to remain in the same state as Serbia went to war. They were fully backed by Serbia and the Serbian-controlled Yugoslav armies.
When those wars ended in 1995 Kosovo remained part of Serbia. Ethnic Albanians in Kosovo sensed that they too could gain their own independence.
But Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic, wanting to keep what was left of Yugoslavia together, did not want to let Kosovo go. He’d made his intentions clear in a speech some years earlier.

(17 Jun 1999) Albanian/Nat
As French K-FOR forces moved into the town of Vucitern, about 30 kilometres (20 miles) northwest of Pristina, ethnic Albanians cheered them on.
At the same time they kicked and spat at departing Serb civilians fleeing the province in cars and buses in fear of Albanian reprisals.
Serb police could only watch from the roadside as their countrymen left and the French soldiers moved in.
Soon they would be on their way too.
SOUNDBITE: (Serbo-Croat)
"I am leaving but it is not my choice."
SUPER CAPTION: Serb policeman
Vucitern was completely destroyed in the war and emptied of most civilians.
Now the people are back, under the watchful eye of the K-FOR guard.
In the distance, as the Serbs departed, burning houses could be seen - thought to have been set ablaze by fleeing Serbs, perhaps as a remembrance of their time there.

Albanians and Serbs have been at odds for a long time. The impact of a war two decades ago still lingers within the borders of Kosovo. TRT World's Yunus Paksoy visited one of the symbolic centers of the conflict, to find out whether there's still hope for reconciliation.
Albanians are the largest ethnic group in Kosovo, commonly called Kosovar Albanians, Kosovan Albanians, and Kosovo Albanians. According to the 1991 Yugoslav census, boycotted by Albanians, there were 1,596,072 ethnic Albanians in Kosovo or 81.6% of population. By the estimation in year 2000, there were between 1,584,000 and 1,733,600 Albanians in Kosovo or 88% of population; as of today their population is 92,93%. Albanians of Kosovo are Ghegs. They speak Gheg Albanian, more specifically the Northern and Northeastern Gheg variants.
Kosovar Albanians are ethnic Albanians with ancestry or descent in the region, regardless of whether they live in Kosovo. A large Kosovar Albanian diaspora has formed since the Kosovo War, mostly in Germany and Switzerland. An estimated 500,000 Kosovar Albanians live in either Switzerland or Germany (about 300,000 in Germany and 200,000 in Switzerland), accounting for roughly one fifth of the total number of Kosovar Albanians.
