I can say with accuracy that life for a Serb in Kosovo today is terrifying, expecting to be attacked, in Albanian dominated areas even waiting to die. One hopes at best one will be allowed to flee alive.

It is frightful to have to hide your ethnic identity, travel out of your vulnerable enclave exposed to Albanian abuse and violence, be prohibited from medical facilities or visiting relatives graves, watch your cultural heritage be erased systematically from your homeland, and know you have no legal protection, are below second class, and can be murdered with impunity by the ethnic majority at any moment.

Even Serb children are not safe, as Albanian school teachers in some villages are letting even the small children out of school to stone the twice-weekly Serb UN bus from Osijanje.

Like Palestinian society, the Albanians indoctrinate their children from a young age to hate.

The risk to life for merely forgetting to speak English in an Albanian town and slipping out a word in Serbian can be fatal.
