You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

==History==
According to the 1991 census in [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia|Yugoslavia]], there were five municipalities with a [[Serbs|Serb]] majority in the [[Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija]]. Those were: [[Leposavić]], [[Zvečan]], [[Zubin Potok]], [[Štrpce]] and [[Novo Brdo]]. The remaining municipalities had an [[Albanians|Albanian]] majority, while other significant ethnic minorities (such as [[Muslims (South-Slavic ethnic group)|ethnic Muslims]] and [[Romani people in Kosovo|Romani]]) did not form majorities in any of the municipalities.
[[File:Kosovo-metohija-koreni-duse030.jpg|thumb|Serbs in enclaves during [[2004 unrest in Kosovo|2004 unrest]]]]
Prior to the 1999 [[Kosovo War]], there were many more [[Serbs]] living in the territory of Kosovo. Many of them left in 1999, and some more left during the [[2004 unrest in Kosovo|2004 unrest]], when the Serb community and Serbian cultural heritage were targeted, and as a result 35 churches, including 18 [[Cultural Heritage of Serbia|monuments of culture]], were demolished, burnt or severely damaged. Estimates of the number of Serbs thus displaced range from 65,000 to 250,000<ref>European Stability Initiative (ESI): [http://www.esiweb.org/pdf/esi_document_id_53.pdf The Lausanne Principle: Multiethnicity, Territory and the Future of Kosovo's Serbs (.pdf)] , 7 June 2004.</ref><ref>Coordinating Centre of Serbia for Kosovo-Metohija: [https://web.archive.org/web/20040416201639/http://www.serbia.sr.gov.yu/coordination_centre/index.html Principles of the program for return of internally displaced persons from Kosovo and Metohija].</ref><ref>[[US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants]] (USCRI): [http://www.refugees.org/countryreports.aspx?id=1624 Country report: Serbia and Montenegro 2006] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080219224304/http://www.refugees.org/countryreports.aspx?id=1624 |date=19 February 2008 )).</ref><ref>International Relations and Security Network (ISN): [http://www.esiweb.org/pdf/esi_lausanne_reactions_id_1.pdf Serbians return to Kosovo not impossible, says report (.pdf)] , by Tim Judah, 7 June 2004.</ref> Only about 3.000 of them have returned since. Based on Serbian former [[Ministry for Kosovo and Metohija]], 312 of 437 towns and villages in which Serbs lived were completely [[Ethnic cleansing|ethnically cleansed]], and in the ensuing violence, more than 1.000 Serbs were killed, while 841 were kidnapped and 960 wounded.<ref>[[B92]]: [http://www.b92.net/info/vesti/index.php?yyyy=2009&mm=06&dd=08&nav_category=640&nav_id=364851 ''Interesovanje za povratak na Kosovo''] (''The Interest for Returning to Kosovo''), 8 June 2009 ((in lang|sr))</ref><ref>((cite news|title=Raseljeni Srbi žele povratak na Kosovo|url=http://www.rts.rs/page/stories/sr/story/9/Srbija/66432/Raseljeni+Srbi+%C5%BEele+povratak+na+Kosovo.html|accessdate=23 September 2012|newspaper=[[Radio Television of Serbia|RTS]]|date=8 June 2009))</ref>

Between 2000 and 2008, the [[UNMIK]] administration created eight new municipalities on the territory of Kosovo, three of which have an ethnic Serb majority: [[Gračanica, Kosovo|Gračanica]], [[Klokot-Vrbovac]] and [[Ranilug]]. In 2008, the [[Community Assembly of Kosovo and Metohija]] was created to coordinate the efforts of the Serbian minority in Kosovo. There are some 120,000 Serbs in Kosovo, of whom about a third are in the north. They believe that if Republic of Kosovo government officials are deployed on the border, Kosovo will eventually take control of the north, which is now a de facto part of Serbia. Kosovo's Serbs, especially in the north, reject its independence.<ref name="economist.com"/>

During the ethnic tensions in the [[2004 unrest in Kosovo]], numerous [[Serb]] [[enclave and exclave|enclaves]] were assaulted by [[Kosovo Albanians|Kosovo Albanian]] rioters.((citation needed|date=November 2017))
