Kosovo. The Next Bosnia?

Description

Albanians had coexisted within the Ottoman Empire for centuries while the Serbians in the region emigrated to areas under control of the Habsburgs. Upon the dissolution of the empire, the country of Albania was formed, but over two million Albanians resided throughout the rest of the Balkans. Kosovo had the largest portion of Albanians, and the area was finally granted broad autonomy by the former Yugoslavia in 1974. The rise of Serbian nationalism in the late 1980s, bolstered by expounded propaganda about Albanian oppression of Serbs in Kosovo, led to the annexation of Kosovo by Serbia in 1989. This episode surveys the resistance by ethnic Albanians against Serbian occupation. Also included are reports on Haitian prisoners held by the U.S. in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba; U.S. immigration policy with Arthur Helton; and El Salvador.
