not exactly. Tito's fault was that he gave them special treatement (constitution from 1974 that Serbia opposed). Only Serbia (from all yugoslav republics) was divided and two autonomous provinces were created (Kosovo and Vojvodina). That was done under Tito's rule and he was a Croat that never liked Serbs. He was fighting against Serbs and Russians back in WW1.
(paste from wikipedia: In January 1915, he was sent to the Eastern Front in Galicia to fight against Russia. He distinguished himself as a capable soldier, becoming the youngest Sergeant Major in the Austro-Hungarian Army.[19] For his bravery in the face of the enemy, he was recommended for the Silver Bravery Medal but was taken prisoner of war before it could be formally presented.")
What Tito did on Kosovo is that he let mass migration of Albanians in deal with Communist Albanian Leader Enver Hodza , and that way he changed demographics there.
It is true, muslim fanatics and uneducated population can only make problems. For example, there were never problems with other ethnic minorites like Hungarians in Vojvodina. All of them have same rights which means language,schools, church, tv,radio,newspappers,etc. but Albanians even denied to have own university that Milosevic was giving to them. Their only goal was to take land and have own country.
All ex yugoslav republics were sending money to Kosovo to somehow make them civilized, but it never worked. At the end, West and NATO armed them and supported them and now we have shithole in the middle of europe, with smugglers,killers, drug traficking and organ harvesting gangs....of course, supported by nearby US army base and european frioends, same those that are helping Nazis in Ukraine.
