True. They're aware that they will benefit from such policy in the long-term, having that Albanians have a stunning demographic growth while Serbs are losing population as it is.

I read the proposal was rejected by Milosevic. True?

No. The Albanians rejected the proposal. Cosic and the PM of FRY at the time (an American Serb called Milan Panic) tried courting the Albanians in various ways to get them to agree. Everything they offered to the Albanians rjected. They offered several plans, giving in to more and more of their demands.

I find this very interesting. Do you know of any English-language sources I could look to?

Yes I found that site as well, but it seems to be written by an Albanian. It does not mention what happened to these offers of partition, except indirectly by saying how historically inaccurate and unfair to the Albanians all the proposals were.

The offers were rejected by Albanians, because they wanted all of Kosovo specifically. Serbs have writte very little on the proposed Kosovo partitions. Albanians on the otherm hand have written more.

The main reasons for rejection are simple. Albanians want all of Kosovo. The second reason is that the majority of mines in Kosovo are in Serb areas and an independent Kosovo would need those mines to have any chance of economic viability.
