Yugoslavia does not exist. Kosovo is a country that has been recognised by 90 UN member states. These are fact that cannot be altered by people who wish otherwise. Thank you Albrit (talk) 11:36, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not done and not likely to be done Yugoslavia did exist, she was born when it did, and the article correctly informs that her birthplace is in modern Kosovo. Dru of Id (talk) 14:54, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore, this is precisely the POV-pushing the article freeze was issued to prevent. Historical accuracy is the most practical format as it offers factual biographical information relevant to the individual and it is not subject to disupte. As of 26 May 2012 the U.N. figure recognising Kosovo is indeed 90 but you need to realise that the number of members stands at 193, do the other 103 not matter?

Birthplace items

Intermediate entities between town and state have recently been added. These are both factual (SAP Kosovo, SR Serbia) and improve the section by stylising the article in accordance with many others. Alternative infoboxes such as for footballers which list criteria (City of birth and Country of birth) are different because they demand that information only.

I've read in this article that she lived in Northern Kosovska Mitrovica, together with her family. This is what she said for Economist:

"Not only does Ms Nishliu have an impressive voice, she has an interesting story. (See a profile of her I wrote for the European Stability Initiative in 2007.) She grew up in what is now Serb-controlled north Mitrovica in north Kosovo (which we have covered extensively on Eastern Approaches). There is now some irony in the words of the Serbs who expelled Ms Nishliu and her family from their home during the NATO bombing of Serbia:

When the bombing started in 1999, on April 4, men with military uniform came into our home and threatened us and told us we had to leave. They beat my father in front of us; me, my mother, my brother, my aunt and grandmother. They said: "You can't stay. You've got to go!" My grandmother said: "Where should we go?" They said: "Go to your country, go to Albania." My grandmother said: "Kosova is our country. I was born here and have lived 65 years here."

Should we fix her origin to Northern Kosovska Mitrovica? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.201.148.158 (talk) 02:12, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, despite originally being from the north, she was born in the southern part of the city, as the north was just a borough and part of the city. --PjeterPeter (talk) 10:18, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
