Lets see what Human Rights Watch has to say about you, poor victims:
This one is from 1999:

Harassment and Violence Against Serbs and Roma in Kosovo
According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), more than 164,000 have left Kosovo altogether. Many others have moved to Serb or Roma enclaves under KFOR protection within Kosovo. This report focuses on the wave of arson and looting of Serb and Roma homes throughout Kosovo that has ensued and on the harassment and intimidation, including severe beatings, to which remaining Serbs and Roma have been subjected. Most seriously, there has been a spate of abductions and murders of Serbs since mid-June, including the massacre of fourteen Serb farmers on July 23.
Prominent among explanations for these abuses is the desire of some ethnic Albanians to take revenge for atrocities committed by Serb security forces prior to KFOR's entry into Kosovo. While the Serb minority is the most obvious target of this retaliatory animus, the Roma too are at risk, as they are commonly perceived by ethnic Albanians as having been willing collaborators in Serb abuses. Another related motivation for the abuse is to drive members of these minority groups out of Kosovo. Indeed, numerous Serbs and Roma have told Human Rights Watch that they have been directly warned by ethnic Albanians, under threat of violence, to leave Kosovo and never return.

On March 17, at least 33 riots broke out in Kosovo over a 48-hour period, involving an estimated 51,000 protesters. Nineteen people died during the violence. At least 550 homes and 27 Orthodox churches and monasteries were burned, and approximately 4,100 persons from minority communities were displaced from their homes.
Human Rights Watch research found that ethnic Albanian crowds acted with ferocious efficiency to rid many areas in Kosovo of all remaining vestiges of a Serb presence, and also targeted other minority communities, including Roma and Ashkali. In many of the villages affected by the violence, in attacks both spontaneous and organized, every single Serb, Roma or Ashkali home was destroyed.
In the village of Svinjare, all 137 Serb homes were burned, but neighboring ethnic Albanian homes were left untouched. In nearby Vucitrn, all 69 Ashkali homes were destroyed, while in Kosovo Polje, more than 100 Serb and Roma homes were burned, as was the post office, the Serbian school and the Serbian hospital. Even the tiniest Serb presences became targets: in Djakovica ethnic Albanians besieged the Serbian Orthodox Church that housed the town’s remaining Serbs, five elderly women. The women had to be evacuated.

This is who you are, so stop whining. You have too much blood on your hands and no credibility.
