Cited from the publication “Roots of the Insurgency of Kosovo”, page 3:
“About 76,000 Serbian forces entered Kosovo and defeated a disorganized force of 16,000 Turks. As they advanced through Kosovo, Serbians destroyed Albanian villages. Serbia viewed the subjugation of Kosovo in October 1912 as the fulfillment of a historic crusade. Serbian atrocities against Albanians, especially those committed by paramilitary bands called “chetniks,” suggested to some contemporary Western observers that Serbia was bent on a systematic extermination of Kosovo’s Muslim population to transform the ethnic character of Kosovo”.
