One of the main subjects of sociology is the increase of ethnic problems, so the issues of minorities and protection of minorities' rights are becoming more important even it has become one of the most important matters on the international agenda. After the Balkans has overcome the ethnic and regional conflicts, it started to face other problems during the period of reconstruction. Due to lack of political will of these states rejection of the minorities exist in the different states. Serbians, despite refutation of acknowledging the rights of Albanian minorities, even more, they use discriminatory policies and assimilation techniques on them. From this perspective, in order to detect the right questions and suggest solutions for social, economic and political problems of Albanian minority we have carried out in-depth interviews with 20 Albanians who holds important political and social positions in this region. Basing on the facts, advice, and recommendations will be offered.
