| Abstract: | The emotions surrounding the question of Kosovo’s future owe their intensity to the long history of human rights abuses in
the province. The years 1945–1966 and 1987–1999, in particular, saw harsh repression of local Albanians and a systematic favoring
of local Serbs. Since June 1999, the province has been under international supervision, and, in this period, Serbs complain
that they have been the victims of repeated acts of violence at the hands of Albanians. This article provides an overview
of human rights abuses since 1945 and closes with a brief assessment of the international plan presented by UN mediator Martti
Ahtisaari in February 2007.
