Summary/Abstract: National minorities in Yugoslavia after the Second World War experience different treatments. The German minority was almost completely evicted for participating in the war on the side of Nazi Germany. On the other hand, the Siptar minority (later Albanian) is expanding its living space to the expense of the Serbian people, which, even by legal acts, forbids return to the area from which Serbs were expelled in World War II. Albanians are given absolute authority on the territory of AP Kosovo and Metohija. At the same time, large numbers of Albanians from Albania are allowed to enter this region. Throughout the period since the end of the Second World War, the disappearance of Serbs from Kosovo and Metohija and some other areas where the Albanians were numerous has continued to this day. The constitutional legal development of the SFRY from 1946 to 1974 sets the legal basis for the break-up of Serbia. The last act of de facto separation of Kosovo and Metohija from Serbia was NATO aggression in 1999.
