This case includes territories inhabited by Albanians (who, being the majority of the Islamic faith, were considered part of the Muslim population in the Balkan Peninsula). These anti-Albanian interests, initially through policies, programs and methods, prepared the national and the international opinion about the annihilation and colonization intentions on the territories inhabited by Albanians, especially in Kosovo. In addition to this, in the historical retrospect, Albanians during the XIX-XX centuries faced orthodox political calls for the creation of a state with Serbian orientation in the territories of the former Serbian king Car Dushani (1331-1355), with clear intentions for a Great Serbia to be formed (all Slavs in one state) for all South Slavs, where Serbia would have the leading role.
