ConclusionPham Pantoja 1The conflict in Kosovo does not reflect the racial and religious intolerance shown by Serbs towards ethnic Albanians. The current situation is one of evacuation of all ethnic Albanians from Kosovo. This situation began in February 1990 after fighting broke out between ethnic Albanians, the police and the Slavic minority (Satyendra, paragraph 2). Many other situations that occurred in the past have contributed to the current conflict. The conflict between Serbs and Albanians shows us how intolerant religious, political and racial conflicts have been throughout the history of relations between Serbs and Albanians. The history of Kosovo has been very turbulent and conflicts have broken out with every incident that has occurred. . About 600 years ago, the Serbs faced the Turkish invader on June 15, 1389 in their country, resulting in the Battle of Kosovo. The Serbs were led by Prince Lazar and they fought brilliantly to the end, although he was wounded and captured and beheaded by the Turks (Satyendra, paragraph 1, “Kosovo deeply rooted in the psyche of the Serbian people "). One of the first conflicts took place in 1913 with small groups of Albanian rebels, known as kacaks, protesting against a Serbian officer in September. He had tried to rape an Albanian woman, but a woman's husband had shot in the middle of a paper ...... was circulating; religious, political and racial conflicts in Kosovo.
