The term 'Great Albania' was coined by modern Serb politicians. In Serbian political discussion, the entire Albanian national movement - from its beginnings with the League of Prizren in 1878 - is seen as a movement for the formation of 'Great Albania'. This because in order to have a 'Great Serbia', any size Albania is too big.
*Sanxhak (Sandzak)
In SANDZAK never existed bosniaks, they are assimilated ALBANIANS!!
600'000 Albanians were expelled from Sandzak(Novi Pazar and near regions) to Turkey!
The Albanian National Unity Front (ANUF) is a unification of political democratic forces, non-governmental organizations, intellectual and patriotic personalities, as well as the wide massive population in all Albanian areas, that has as a final aim the unification of the Albanian lands and all of its people that live in it, into a single Albanian national state.
- The Albanians have suffered the greatest territorial partitioning among the people of Europe. Today their lands are divided between five states of the Balkan Peninsula, from which only 1/3 of it is part of their national state. Outside the borders of Albania, the largest part of their ethnic lands suffers under Serbian-Slavic-Macedonian rule.
SERB TERROR
In the last war in Kosova, the Serbian Criminal State killed around 14,000 Albanian people. Near 90% of them were unarmed civilians. The defenseless. Mainly children, women and old-aged men. Around 3.000 people were kidnapped and are still missing.
The overwhelming number of them are in Serbia. Near to 20,000 women were raped. 740,000 people were violently expelled. 120,000 houses were destroyed or damaged by the Serbian Criminal Army.

UÇK - eng. KLA
So for those who don't know anything about this army, it was called "UÇK" (Ushtria Çlirimtare e Kosovës) in Albanian, or "KLA" (Kosovo Liberation Army) in English.
KLA was created at the beginning of the 90's, and started to grow up constantly, until it's first public apparition in 1997.
KLA's campaign against Serbian security forces started in 1997 and saw it's end in 1999, in a bloody war known as the "Kosovo War"
The truth is, they wanted only one thing: FREEDOM!
Lavdi Deshmorëve!
In the beginning of the twentieth century, Russia wanted to create a big slavic state in the Balkans; first it looked like Russia's favorite was 'Great Bulgaria,' but later Russians decided that Serb plans for a 'Great Serbia' were better for them. That's how we got the 'Serbo-Croato-Slovene Kingdom', which included the Albanian-inhabited regions that today are known as Kosova. After WW2, that kingdom became a republic and changed its name to 'Yugoslavia'. Yugoslavia was essentially a version of 'Great Serbia': the Serbs still insist on calling themselves 'Yugoslavs', while everybody else is happy that Yugoslavia is (almost) dead.
In contrast, 'Great Albania' has never been a project of any Albanian governments. Serbia, which indeed in 1912 annexed Kosova and other Albanian territories to create the 'Great Serbia', faced with an unfriendly Albanian population in the territories it annexed, came up with 'Great Albania' and used this term to justify the inhumane treatment of millions of Albanians inside its borders. More recently, Serbs have found yet another use for 'Great Albania': they use the term as an argument against the imminent independence of Kosovo. While it is prerequisite for a sustainable peace in the Balkans, Kosovo's independence is not part of a 'Great Albania' project. Kosovo's independence is the expected end result after the failed colonization attempts by Serbia.
Albanians have never had any conquest projects. Albanians do not wish to rule Serbs or other neighbors. Albanians wish to live in peace. Yes, it is true that Albanians resent the unnatural borders and the check-points that Serbs, Russians, and European powers have imposed on them. This is understandable however, even more so if you keep in mind that since 1912 Albanians have faced continuous racism, have been continuously harassed, murdered, shipped away to Anatolian plains, and have generally been treated as a 'problem to be solved'. (The latest Hitler-style attempts of Serbia to solve the 'Albanian problem' were stopped by Americans, God bless them!)
30 May 1878
"We demand nothing more than to live with our neighbors, Montenegro, Greece, Serbia and Bulgaria in peace. We demand and we want nothing from them, but we are determined to keep what belongs to us. You should let the Albanian land to the Albanians''
