Your story about statements made by Patriarch of Russia ends with asentence that reads as "Kosovo, a region with a predominantly Muslim Albanian population" which gives an impression to a casual reader that Serbs want to impose their rule over the part of country that it is not inhabited by Serbs. The truth is that domination of Albanian muslims is of very recent history due to the illegal immigration from Albania, one of the European highest birth rate and intimidation of Serbs. Thank You.
