NONVIOLENCE IN KOSOVO - ESTABLISHING A DEPENDENCY RELATIONSHIP.

The article discusses the nonviolent methods adopted by the Albanian majority in Kosovo, Serbia to protest the erosion of Kosovo's autonomy. Kosovo has a majority Albanian population. Estimates in 1993 put the Albanian population at 87.8% while Serbs made up 6.6% of Kosovo's two million residents. The peaceful campaign of the Albanians had two parts. The first was a campaign of strikes, protests and demonstrations which were suppressed by the Serbian paramilitary groups, police and army. Then the Albanian political leaders decided to cease this part of their campaign and resorted to anther campaign which involved noncooperation with Serbian authorities and institutions.
