Well you can be both. You know we have 5% of Serbs in Croatia right now, and they call themselves Serbs and we have no problem with that (even our deputy prime minister is Serb).
You can choose to be any nation you want (in the last census I think we had 3 Eskimos in Croatia:lol: ). And I think that's the thing with Kosovo also. You can choose to be Serb or Kosovar or any nation you want. But most of the people are Kosovars (ethnic Albanians, 85-90%) or Serbs (around 10% on Kosovo) with some mixtures of other nations like Croats (in Janjina).
English, Scottish, Irish, Polish (after WWII), Indian (south asian indian though i dont look anything like it) could be french, german, scandinavian, italian, african (yes everyone's family started started there )
and interestingly i think have some family from china from the 17th century though again i dont look at all chinese
Great-greatgrandfather on my dad's side came over from Switzerland in the 1870s or 80s, my grandmother on my mom's side came from Canada (her grandfather had come over from France to Canada), my grandfather on my mom's side's ancestors came over from Germany shortly before the American Revolution and I believe I have some Swedish ancestors as well.

English, despite what people say I sound like. (Canadian and Austrailian are the most common, but I've had Scottish, Irish, South African and Swedish as well, though the last one was probably a joke)
