Kosova was not part of Serbia, because there was no 🇷🇸to be part of: during most of the long Ottoman period, Serbia did not exist as an entity at all. 🇽🇰was annexed de facto by Serbia within living memory, in 1912; de jure it was not annexed by the Serbian kingdom at all.

History, for the Serbs, started in the early 7th century, when they settled in the Balkans. Their power base was outside Kosovo, which they fully conquered in the early 13th, so the claim that Kosovo was the "cradle" of the Serbs is untrue.

Scanderbeg's 20-year-long resistance was a key reason why the Ottoman advance into Europe stopped. He mastered psychology to fool his foes, jogging them out of confidence and rhythm. This is why he won strings of successes always with inferior numbers.

Kosova remained Ottoman territory until it was conquered by 🇷🇸 forces in 1912. Serbs would say liberated;but even their own estimates put the Orthodox 🇷🇸 population at less than 25%. The majority population was 🇦🇱, and did not welcome 🇷🇸rule, so "conquered" seems the right word.
