The situation is very tense now in Kosovo where about two million Albanians reside, while the Serb population numbers about 70,000.
If Serbs finally leave Kosovo, as they left the traditional residence territories in Croatia and Bosnia in 1994-96, Kosovo leaders will have possibility to declare independence of the territory and separation from Serbia.
