Serbs have always been a minority in both Dardania-Kosovo and Macedonia

Cited:

“The territory of the Kingdom of Serbia increased from 48,000 to 87,000 km2, and the population increased from three million to around 4.3 to 4.4 million. Of course, the Serbs were only a minority in both Kosovo and Macedonia. What was more crucial for the history of the 20th century was that the first “ethnic cleansing” took place in the course of the Balkan Wars, such as numerous atrocities committed by Serbian troops against the Albanian civilian population.”
