And your point being? Human Rights Watch don't sit there and make up stories. They represent facts. Now if you choose not to believe them, that's another cup of tea, as you've been spoon-fed with something else in Serbia.
He revoked Kosova's and Vojvodina's autonomy. The reason for that was to get more power. As Serbia felt it had been weakend during Tito's Yugoslavia.
After Tito's death, things started to change for the worse, that's the reaosn for the demonstrations in '81-and the years to come.
You wouldn't know truth if it came and bit you on the arse.
Kosovo became a police state run by Belgrade.
Throughout 1990, the government closed most of the Albanian-language schools and, in January
1991, it
stopped paying most Albanian high school teachers.
By October 1991, all Albanian teachers had been fired; only fifteen Albanian professors remained at the university in Pristina, and they all taught in Serbian.

1991:
Albanian is officially banned as the university’s main language of instruction, and henceforth, only Serb professors are authorized to teach courses.
As a result,
hundreds of ethnic Albanian faculty members and administrative aides are expelled; 20,000 students are also banned from the campus.
In all,
more than 18,000 teachers, professors and staff members are dismissed from schools and university faculties in Kosovo by the end of the year.

After
Kosovo's autonomy was effectively
revoked in 1989, the political situation in Kosovo became more and more divisive.
Throughout late 1990 and 1991 thousands of Kosovo Albanian doctors, teachers, professors, workers, police and civil servants were dismissed from their positions. The local court in Kosovo was abolished and many judges removed. Police violence against Kosovo Albanians increased.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the Albanians could NOT remove Milosevic. How naive and ignorant can one be. The Albanians were in no position to do that. And IF had been the case, there's no way in hell that Serbia would have allowed the Albanian Kosovars to decide whom Serbia's leader was going to be. That's like puting more
salt on the wond
And last time I checked it was Serbia and its people who chose him. The majority of the people even chose to back him up in 4 wars.
When Kosova and Vojvodina still had their autonomy, they were equal members of the Yugoslav Federation to veto any laws it did not like.
That was something Serbia did not like.
Revocation of autonomies of these regions allowed Serbia to choose representatives of Kosova and Vojvodina in the Federal Government, therefore control the voting process. And who do you think Serbia chose to represent? Not Albanians that's for sure.
Also don't forget the Serbian Academy of Arts and Sciences;
Memorandum 1986.
So you see, the Albanians could NOT remove Milosevic. Serbia wouldn't have allowed it either as Serbia had became stronger than ever.
You got to be joking LOL
Can you be so kind and show me where the Americans supposedly called him " peace keeper"/ " factor of stability"?
Did he choose peace in Slovenia
Did he choose peace in Croatia and Bosnia
Did he choose peace in Kosova
No, on the contrary. He chose war, and Serbia chose to back him up.
And that's why Serbia is in the possition it is today.
The way you make your bed, the way you have to sleep in it.
