It is of great importance to emphasize that 205,000 displaced Kosovo Serbs were displaced (read forced to leave Kosovo) after June 1999, when international community led by USA, took full responsibility over the province. The ethnic cleansing was well planned, organized and conducted by Albanian elite in front of the eyes of 40,000 “peacekeepers”. For the first time in its history Kosovo cities remained without Serbs (except one part of one city and that is Kosovoska Mitrovica north).
Ethnically cleaned Kosovo (without Serbs) was overall objective of ethnic Albanians of Kosovo. This objective was well described in Prizren League Declaration back en in XIX century (1887).
I'm not sure about the demands of those who wish to return. Maybe some of them are asking for those things. Serb returnees in the village of Žač, near Istok, had their tents pelted with stones yesterday. As we can see they returned to the tents.
We are not talking about some luxurious accomodations here.
Petelko has a point. Economic conditions are bad and that has influence on returns.
But, there is something else.
"According to Arboleda, the UN agency cannot solve security problems..."
Not so long ago, group of Albanians were returning to Northern Mitrovica, Brdjani. Group of Serbs were protesting and throwing stones demanding that conditions are created for Serb returnees to the south in the same time.
EULEX reacted forcefully, deployed troops, threw tear gas, etc. and pledged to provide security to those who wish to return to their properties.
They should do the same in Žač, or one could suspect that Peter Faith is only there to return Albanians to the North, but not Serbs to the South.
As for comment by Nelli_Canada:
"I don't think that Prishtina will deal with this issue unless there is recognition by Serbia."
I'm affraid that you are right. Prishtina always in the past wanted incentives to stop misbehaving.
When in March 2004 Albanian mob burned down some 500 homes, and numerous churches and monasteries, sending 4000 people into exile, Hashim Thaci was quick to say that his compatriots are behaving like that because there is no independance yet.
"Giving full independence to Kosova will stop the violance" he explained.
Agim Ceku had similar reaction. On every occasion of violance aimed at non-Albanian population in Kosovo, he would blame it on "deleys" in independence that is "inevitable".
He often warned of more "dangers" and "unforeseeable consequences" if the province were not allowed to secede.
Ramush Haradinaj during his time in the office of Prime Minister of Kosovo, brushed aside all such reports of violance against non-Albanians.
"Attacks are understandable", he said. "We know what patience means, but...it can be too late.'"
After March 2004 violance Faton Klinaku -- secretary of the KLA Veterans Organization in Pristina -- did not stay silant. He helped explain: "If the international community fails to recognize the right of the Albanian people for independence, and the status is defined on the basis of COMPROMISES (????), we would naturally resume the fight...Every other decision different from independence would lead to violence for which both the politicians and the international community would be guilty."
Of course, Faton. It's always someone else that is guilty.

You have learned well from your leaders.
Why would Prishtina deal with any wrong-doing without gaining something in return - like recognition by Serbia!
I don't know what word you are using for all this, but I call it BLACKMAIL.
“Belgrade has no reason to invest any more in Sothern part of the province, nor to rebuilt Albanian houses since criminal government in Pristina took all the responsibility on itself after the UDI.” (Biljana, 5 April 2010 22:00)
Great excuse Biljana – so what is your excuse for the period 1999 to 2008? I don’t suppose your regime ever considered that doing some proper reparations over the years might have helped rebuild some bridges that might have allowed a “compromise” more on your terms to have acceptable to Albanians? OK, Serbia deserves reparations from NATO as well, but that’s no excuse for your own inaction. And in any case, Serbia’s got a lot more cash from the west than Kosovar destroyed homes have got from Belgrade (nothing).
“Besides people in Kosovo use everything that Serbia and other ex YU republics used to built in Kosovo, including infrastructure, factories, state owned companies, electro-industry, etc. Albanians contributed in Kosovo’s development by almost zero, nada, zilch, nothing, null.”
Interesting the ideology here. Albanian labour built all those things. I realize a certain elite 19th century view of the world does not consider labour to be part (not to mention the main part) of the inputs that build things. The only time Albanian labour and sweat wasn’t able to build in Kosova was 1990-1999, when Milosevic sacked the whole ethnic Albanian workforce. But nothing, zero, nada, zilch was built in that period.
each of those people who had the audacity to make those demands should be barred entirely from ever stepping foot into kosovo.

No more familja moderne.
Hypocrisy has no limit. How many Albanian houses were burned to the ground , escpecially when NATO was moving in and Serb troops were heading towards Serbia?
How many Albanian houses were rebuild with money coming from Belgrade???
(Kosova-USA, 5 April 2010 18:29)
=======================
If you take your UDI back and acknowledge that you live in Serbia then Serbia would invest in Kosovo.
Why would they throw their money away on people who have decided to steal their land? I think you took enough already.
Belgrade has no reason to invest any more in Sothern part of the province, nor to rebuilt Albanian houses since criminal government in Pristina took all the responsibility on itself after the UDI . Besides people in Kosovo use everything that Serbia and other ex YU republics used to built in Kosovo, including infrastructure, factories, state owned companies, electro-industry, etc. Albanians contributed in Kosovo’s development by almost zero, nada, zilch, nothing, null…
And yes, Pristina is desperate without Belgrade’s recognition and you are all aware of it.
Without recognition from Belgrade status of Kosovo will be forever in limbo and stacked in the mud.
My sentiments as an Albanian aside, I would not go to live in Kosovo unless there is an economic incentive.
It works the same for the Serbs. They need economic reasons, not just a patriotic appeal or an administrative plea.
This has nothing to do with Kosovo being independent or not. Even if Kosovo goes back under Belgrade, they will not go back to Kosovo. Gone is the time when Milosevic gave them no chance to choose.
Similarly, my Albanian friends would no go back either, although it is an independent state.
Fix the economy, lower the local crime and stop the inter-ethnic nonsensical fear. Until then, no matter who rules Kosovo, we will not go back. Keep it to yourself the damn place.
How many Albanian houses has Serbia rebuilt after its army burned them to the ground? A little help to refresh your memory? Zero, nada, zilch, nothing, nulll. How much money they have offered so that Albanian houses the Serb government destroyed can be rebuilt? Again, zero, nada, nothing, null. Since you Serbs want reciprocity so much how about the Serb government invests at least the same amount the Kosova government has invested. Then you can ask for cable.
(johny, 5 April 2010 19:03)
Show me K-Albanians who need support from serbian government. I know only them who need serbian biometric passports ;)
EA, if I see you write "Serbia should recognize an independent Albanian Kosovo", I will throw up. It will not happen. So please move on to another point.
Yes, they deserve their houses to be rebuilt. If your angry mob destroyed them then they should rebuild them.
And yes, Serbian channels. They are in Serbia after all.

"Arboleda also blamed the displaced persons for the low rate of returns, saying that many do not accept to return under conditions offered to them, "they want really new houses and cable TV with Serb channels.."
Interesting!))
If Serbia really cares for the displaced people, should recognise Kosovo/a's independence first and then "let's talk". I am not suggesting that Albanians in Kosovo/a should beg Serbia for recognition. I am just making a point.
I don't think that Prishtina will deal with this issue unless there is recognition by Serbia. Remeber that UNMIK is powerless and EULEX has already said that it's Prishtina's authorities who can deal with it, after all EULEX is there only to assist when it comes to the rule of law.
The best you can give them is tents-which work great for bouncing the stones that albanians are throwing at them.
Why don`t they speak about houses that albanians burn right after they were repaired.
Another cheap and iresponsible talk from internationals when ever faced with Serbiian refugees.
