Description:
In the early 20th century the “A l b a n ian question” was widely debated among European powers. Simply stated, the question these powers sought to resolve was how to handle the Albanian population in the Balkans, which was split between Albania and Slavic majoritycountries. The Albanian question has once again become prominent, especially in the wake of the 1999 NATO campaign against Yugoslavia, fought on behalf of the ethnic Albanian population of Kosovo, and recent Albanian insurgencies in southern Serbia and Macedonia.
