"Kosovo is Serbia", "Ask any historian" read the unlikely placards, waved by angry Serb demonstrators in Brussels on Sunday. ...
History, for the Serbs, started in the early 7th century, when they settled in the Balkans. Their power base was outside Kosovo, which they fully conquered in the early 13th, so the claim that Kosovo was the "cradle" of the Serbs is untrue.

Too late.
Aztlan won’t be American forever, thanks to the idiotic precedent set in the Kosovo land theft.
The Sword of Truth will never bite on the mind of Tailgunner Joe.
That will make Dhimmigunner Joe angry since he's doing it for free.
Gavrilo Princip, the guy who shot the Archduke, was a Bosnian Serb. He was caught at the scene. I think one of the co-conspirators in the plot was a Bosnian Muslim.
But that was more than 500 years ago
The Vice-Royality of New Spain was more recent and lasted longer.
Interesting. If present Serbia can claim successor state rights to Kosovo, then Mexico has the same claim to the Southwest USA (even more, since Spain actually recognised Mexico as the successor state.)
Actually, Spain didn’t recognize Mexico at all, let alone as its successor state, until 3 years AFTER the Texas Revolution.
If the Texas Revolution was illegal, so was Mexico’s revolution from Spain.
Well I guess anyone who likes can succeed from anyone now and the US can’t complain. Southwest US will join Mexico. Southeast US will succeed and form the Confederacy. Hawaii and Alaska can go off on their own. It’s going to be an interesting new world.
America was “Indian” for a long time also. Yes, things do change.
Treaty of Cordoba 1821
Humans out now!
Europe's great Renaissance didn't get going until the 13th century and probably didn't hit Serbia in full force until the 19th century.
So, yes, there is direct continuity and contact with Kosovo between 7th century and 13th century Serbia.
It was, to put it mildly, nasty all the way back.
Returned to whom? To Mexico, or to Spain?
California was Russian territory. That other stuff in the Souf’ really wasn’t California. Full of Franciscans wearing Chinese robes you know ~ now that’s not Mexico!

Much of central and Souvrn' Mexico followed.
The Texicans prevailed over Santa Anna's army. The remainder of the country failed to overthrow him and ended up languishing under Santa Anna's misrule off and on until 1876.
Think of the situation as a "failed revolution" where only some of the rebels against the dictator prevailed.
If the Texicans had received more American support in this effort there is no doubt all of Mexico would have been acquired by the United States in the 1800s.
That's the 14th colony to which Jefferson referred.
Only part of that colony was acquired by the United States, and that didn't happen until the independent nation state of Virginia ceded its Western landclaims to them as part of the deal underlying the creation of the United States under the Articles of Confederation.
That's the third country Obamasama has proposed making war against ~ Serbia! He wants to attack Serbia, and that's on top of Sudan, and the bombing of Pakistan.
This guy is one of the most bloodthirsty, aggressive imperialists we've ever had ~ since President Tyler ~ he promised to invade Mexico, take various provinces, and balance the budget.
Some time in the 8th century BCE you would have had Romans going to Dalmatia to get cheap bedwarmers and field hands and calling them "slav".
That's about 1200 years earlier than your 4th century reference. I think what you are doing is confounding the arrival of slavs in the Eastern Empire in roughly the 6th century AD with the earlier experience Romans and Greeks had had with "slavs" in earlier centuries further West and North.
