"Ever since Serbia withdrew Kosovo?s autonomy in 1989, the authorities have been reluctant to hire ethnic Albanians even as street cleaners," says TIME Central Europe bureau reporter Dejan Anastasijevic. "Because they accepted employment by the Serbs at a time when Albanians were boycotting all Serb institutions, they gained a reputation for siding with the Serbs. But as is the case all over the Balkans and Europe, Gypsies have always been the lowest class of citizen...
