Tom O'Donoghue,
First of all and not to take the topic off on to much of a tangent.
Your comments are typical Irish 'history to suit the Irish'.
As pointed out,
I bet Kosovo is a tricky subject for an Irish person, what with your history of fighting a perceived 'oppressive occupier' using terrorist tactics.
And your explanation,
Its a minority thing isn't it?.
I think you are seeing the Serb minority in Kosovo as some sort of comparison with the minority of Catholics/Republicans in Northern Ireland.
If you are, the comparison is wrong, in Northern Ireland the majority actually lives on land that is theirs (ie part of Britain) and the minority seem to want to take it away, in Kosovo the majority (The Albanians)are living on land that is Serbian yet they wants to break away and take Serbian land with it because for some reason based on something 100's of years old (like the Republicans in the North, although technically there has never been such a thing as a 'united Ireland').
I may be wrong but its the probably the only reason I can see someone from Ireland 'supporting' Serbia, the only other thing I can think of is the British factor, our government (not me personally) wants to do one thing, so automatically the Irish want to do the other.
