PRISHTINA, KOSOVO
June 1998
Albanians demonstrate against Milosevic's violent campaign in the province. But groups opposed to Milosevic's rule in Serbia remain silent during the Albanian protests.

Turkish rule did not end until Serbia was recognized as a state in 1878. Meanwhile the Albanians argue that they are Kosovo's indigenous inhabitants, descendants of the ancient Illyrians.
