If 'feed' is a synonym for ' kill/ ethnic cleans/ opress ' then yes, that's what Serbia did.

What the Albanian Kosovars wanted was the same rights as the rest of the federations in Yugoslavia. Hence, the Yugoslav Constitution in 1974, which gave Kosova its autonomy, so it was not illigal in anyway. Vojvodina as well, was given autonomy.


Moreover, it's not just a matter of revoking the autonomy itself, it's the rights , which were given to the Albanian Kosovars that were also taken away.


Kosova itself had become a police state run by Belgrade, where repression, extortion, and human rights were systematicaly abused.

" The deliberate economic and social marginalization of ethnic Albanians forced the emigration of an estimated 350,000 Albanians from the province over the next seven years. While Albanians were being forced to leave, Milosevic's government provided incentives and encouraged the settlement of Serbs in the region. "

Like I Said, it's clear, what the Chauvinistic regime of Serbia had planned, even before the war broke out. >>> In one way or another, Serbia was going to make a Kosova free from Albanian Kosovars.
