Kosovo History and Culture - iExplore

Kosovo's long, troubled history and its rich culture are linked to the many different empires prominent in the region over the centuries, as well as to the diverse ethnicities of its present-day residents. Population shifts due to wars and internal conflicts have resulted in different religions and traditions, and the country's recent declaration as an independent republic has brought all its people together in pride and peace.

Kosovo's Conflict - History Today

Kosovo is the disputed borderland between Serbia and Albania. About 90 per cent of its two million inhabitants are Kosovo Albanians (Kosovars). Albanians are supposedly descended from the ancient Dardanians (Illyrians) who allegedly inhabited the western Balkans long before Slavs arrived in the sixth to eighth centuries AD.
