 I would add: not just Romas, but other minorities, including
(ironically) the tens of thousands of Albanians who call Belgrade
home. Whereas, in Kovoso, the remaining non-Albanian population
live in enclaves "guarded"  around the clock by NATO troops.

In terms of "most Albanians" saying they like NATO, this is
probably true if they were asked in open space on camera, with
KLA henchman/mafioso in full sight. Of course, they are probably
cognizant of the repercussions for speaking thier mind in
"liberated" Kosovo. The Albanians who fled this mafioso/NATO
ridden wasteland into Serbia, therefore joining the many other
minority groups who call it home, likely have no such fear.
