Why there was a war between Kosovo and Serbia ?


The conflict between Kosovo and Serbia was known as Kosovo war and started in 1998. Kosovo was an autonomous province and located in in southern Serbia and has a mixed population of which the majority are ethnic Albanians. Actually Kosovo is the disputed borderland between Serbia and Albania as the same as Kashmir conflict borderland between India and Pakistan. These two countries Kosovo and Serbia were former states of Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia which was unified by Mr Josip Broz Tito in 1943 . In 1991 after dissolution of Soviet Union, the Yugoslav war was started and most of its states declared its independence. However Kosovo was still an autonomous province of Serbia .Until 1998 the conflict is started between Serbian military  and Kosovar Albanian police forces resulted in the deaths of over 1,500 Kosovar-Albanians and forced 400,000 people from their homes. To respond to this conflict which caused many innocent people die and a thousands of refugees , NATO and UN decided to take a military actions and send the humanitarian aids to these states. There were many causes of this conflict if according to the history of the war:-The first on is differences ethnic groups and demography ( Albanian, Kosovo ,Croats,Serbia..)-religious incompatibilities( In Balkan regi9n, there were many kind of religions such as Muslims, Greeks, Catholic and Orthodox Christians, Slavs, Celts)-the claiming of Kosovo for independence and autonomy .As a result in 2008 , Kosovo unilaterally declared independence in 2008 and was recognised as a independent state by Majority of UN member states. Although Kosovo was regonised by International law ,Serbia refused to recognize it as an independent country and accused that the declaration of independence of Kosovo was illegal. In October 2008, International Court of Justice reached the judgment and announced that the declaration did not violate the international law.After months of hard negotiation ,Serbia and Kosovo reached a historic accord to normalize their diplomatic relationship , represented by Serbian Prime Minister Ivica Dacic and the Kosovo Prime Minister Hashim Tha.
