It's "dumb" to stand up for liberty and freedom? So it's smart to put your head down and accept servitude?

I did not say, that. You said that. What I'm saying is that you are smart when you do things in a way to achieve your goals. Just fighting for the sake of heroic folk tales gets you... well, heroic folk tales; it does not get you to any practical goals.
So, to make it simple for you to understand, if X has two options:
A. fight alone and loose;
B. involve Y in the fight and win.
X is smart, but not heroic, by choosing (B); X is dumb, but heroic, by choosing (A). (A) fits the Serbs the way you described them; (B) fits the Albanians the way you described them. I'm not saying either option is wrong. It's OK for some people to value more spiritual wins and others to value more pragmatical ones :) The former will get a medal and very nice folk tales to tell; the latter will get the practical things they wanted.
