In spite of the demographic explosion in Kosovo, the Albanian population is not as overwhelming as the Albanian separatist leaders claim.

The Albanian national minority refused to take part in the census in order to be able to speak about the figure of 1.700.000 Albanians in Kosovo - a figure they found by using the extrapolated birth rate. However, a birth rate which was once established can not be exploited forever for it decreases necessarily at the civilizational, cultural and material level achieved by the Albanians in the FR of Yugoslavia. One must also take into account the fact that many young Albanians left Kosovo, looking for better material conditions; the number of false asylum seekers in western countries increased very much since 1990 - there are 140.000 asylum seekers in Germany alone.

According to the data given by the Albanian side, the number of people present in Kosovo and the number of those who migrated are almost identical. It was noticed that in these data one and the same person is shown as a resident in Kosovo, a refugee in Turkey, an asylum seeker in Germany and a resident of Albania or Macedonia.

Facts show that there are 900.000 Albanians in Kosovo and Metohija.
