Kosovo: 21,000 Serbs apply for Russian citizenship, say they fear genocide

Serbs in Metohija have asked the Russian State Duma for help to get Russian citizenship, in order to prevent the daily attacks by Kosovo Albanians. There are at present 200 thousand Serbs in Kosovo, 21 thousand of whom have made the request. 
Thousands of Serbs living in the  Serbian part of Mitrovitsa have  taken to the streets  carrying placards with  the inscription “Russia, help”.
Mitrovitsa, which lies on the administrative border between Kosovo  and Serbia, resembles the carving up of  Berlin 20 years ago. Serbs in Kosovo are hoping that dual citizenship will be a protection for them.  More than one thousand Serbs have been killed since KFOR entered Kosovo in 1999. In 2008, Kosovo Albanians unilaterally declared the independence of Kosovo, an internationally recognized integral part of Serbia. The U.S and a number of Western countries rushed to recognize that independence, but two of the UN's five permanent member states - Russia and China, and a large number of other countries strongly opposed the move.
Serbs living in Kosovo have loudly declared that they face possible liquidation. The appearance in Serbia of a party, which is  calling for the recognition of the independence of Kosovo, has  further strengthened the Serbs' fears of extinction.
The mass appeal to Russia  for citizenship has caused a  scandal in Serbia, and has dealt a serious blow to the authority of the  ruling coalition. Belgrade is trying to minimize the damage, and for its part, Moscow will handle the issue most delicately, says Georgy Engelgardt, an employee of the Institute for Slavonic studies.
