*yawn*

So tell me guys, why do you insist on beating the poor dead horse? :)

Donika, this is an amazing story. What a spectacular last feature of yours. Cheers!

They should. Hope this helps in the meanwhile:

The interaction between Serbs and Kosovars at AUBG is one of the best examples on the Balkans of peaceful living between two fighting nations.

Yavor Siderov: "There seems to be an unprecedented level of maturity between both Serbian and Kosovar students here about this whole phenomenon. I, for one, have seen a lot less maturity between students of other nationalities relating to other issues than this one. And this has been the most explosive one, recently."

Besart Myderrizi comes from Kosovo and he spent an year in the dormitory living in one room with Nikola Tomic, a Serbian friend of his.

Besart: "When I went back home I was telling my friends from high school that I am living with a Serb, and imagine what the reaction was."
Arber: "What?"
Besart: "Realy?! Hoh. How can you?"

The Albanian community at AUBG is almost three times larger than the Serbian one.

Nenad: "It is a good thing that here at AUBG I managed to see the other side of their opinion. Because when we were in conflicts with them, we could not, we were not able to hear both sides. As you know, it's always like that in conflict situations."

Dusan who is a Serb from Kosovo says that if there were more Serbs here they would have the chance to change their common perception about Albanians.

Dusan: "I mean, not all Albanians are, I mean bad, and want to kill, you know, Serb students."

Yavor Siderov: "It's very difficult for Serbian people in general, and for Serbian students here, to swallow the last ten or fifteen years of their history. This however does not seem to reflect on the, sort of, the personal, the individual self-respect of my Serbian students here."

Sara Rexhepi is a Kosovar from Mitrovitsa, a city divided in two where occasional unrests make life more dangerous than in the rest of Kosovo or Serbia.

Sara: "I miss my family and when I go back there I am very disappointed because I hope that something has changed, and when I go I see that everything is the same. So nothing has changed... And kindof, I'm not as optimistic as I used to be. I try to, but it's a little bit hard."

Yet she believes Serbs and Kosovars should try and overcome their differences. Especially the young people.
