Well, I searched through various sources both in Spanish and in English. It's "safer", if you know what I mean.

If Knin is Serbian, by the same logic Kosovo is Albanian.

After what you explained now (or Monolith's), it is logical.
However, I must say that any question related with the Balkans is often far more complex than what it appears at a first --and even at a second and third-- glance.
When I read Gnist's post I thought that it might lead to a polemical discussion. When I wrote my post I knew that it would lead to a polemical discussion.
To tell you the whole truth, although I could understand that the Serbs having lived their since the XVIth century felt a right to it (especially
if the Croats had abandoned it previously), I could also see how the enclave was likely to be of a special significance to Croats similar to what Kosovo represents for Serbs.
