This shows where people were going when they left Kosovo. One important part is how no refugees were fleeing to serbia. This is because serbia attacking Kosovo was a push factor for Kosovar people.

A push factor is described as a factor, or reason why somebody would want to leave an area. In the case of the Kosovar migration, people want to leave because Yugoslavia just fell and civil wars broke out in each region of what was once Yugoslavia.

Tensions between Serbians and Albanians began to rise due to the dispute of a holy land for the Serbians. These tensions caused the people in Kosovo to end their tranquil treaty with the government and they began sporadically fighting against the Serbian police and parliaments in 1996. These initial attacks caused some to flee but most remained. In 1997, with the aid of other countries, Serbia was able to gain control over Kosovo, however, when a newly elected leader could not keep him promises, they began to renew their attacks. These attacks were also further strengthened by NATO forces which cause hundreds of thousands of people to flee from Kosovo and Serbia and into Albania, Montenegro, and Macedonia. Towards the end of 1999, NATO and Yugoslavia signed a peace treaty which ordered a troop withdrawal and the return of almost one million people back into Kosovo.

Step migration is where people leave one place with the goal of getting somewhere else, but they have periodic stops during their migration. People who fled west from Kosovo would often stop in Montenegro and then at a later point migrate to Sweden and Finland.

Asylum is where a country will offer protection to those that are immigrants in the country because of fear of staying in their home country. In this case the people of Kosovo and surrounding regions migrated into Albania and were allowed to stay there until the conflict was resolved.

Forced migration is where the residents of a place or country are forced to leave either intentionally like the military driving people out of a country, or by the fear of something happening to you and the place you live. The people of Kosovo fled the country because of the fear of dying amidst the wars and attacks taking place in Kosovo.

This is when those who are emigrating from a country migrate to another country, usually a bordering one. The overwhelming majority of migrants involved in the Kosovo conflict fled out of Kosovo and into the neighboring countries of Albania, Montenegro, and Macedonia.

Many Kosovar did not have the money to move transcontinentally, and resorted to moving to neighboring countries. The further from Kosovo, the fewer migrants there are.

Of the few Kosovar people that moved far away, almost all went to urban areas. This is because they knew there would be work and housing for them and their families.

Those living in the main cities of Kosovo moved significantly sooner than those living in the countryside. This is due to the main rebellions and attacks happening in the cities well before they spread to the rest of the country. This caused the people living in the cities to flee the country sooner.
