"The Kosovar students, workers and Communists, all through the 80's up to the late 90's, demonstrated peacefully for their national rights. Took a lot of provocation from Belgrade to give birth to the KLA."
Yes, but that it evidence that the Kosovars were not interested in independence until quite late in the day. Nor would they be, since union with Albania was if anything less attractive than membership of the Yugoslav federation. Then, they were only lobbying for greater autonomy, which was the political currency in Tito's balancing act.
It was only when survival outside the federation became possible, and the pains of continued membership outweighed the advantages, that independence became the goal. And that could only happen once the Western powers, first Germany, then America, sponsored Croatian and then Bosnian independence movements, which served as a role model for the KLA. Pointedly, the KLA spent a lot of its energies lobbying western governments, specifically the US, understanding that the real constituency for its anti-Yugoslav agitation was the western diplomatic corps, more than the Kosovars, and certainly not the Serb or Gypsy minorities.
And yes it is quite true that Milosevic's anti-Muslim agitation in Kosovo was one of the chief factors driving resentment against the regime. But without outside intervention, the ethnic rivalries in the Yugoslav Repubic would never have reached the pitch they did, nor would ethnic differences have become as entrenched and institutionalised as they are to this day in what remains a dependent protectorate of Bosnia, run by a 'High Representative' with plenipotentiary powers, nationalist Croatia and the rump states that are left of the FYR.
