An Abanian who migrated to Kosovo. Cause we all know "Kosovar" is a made-up term which makes no sense in any context.

No such thing as "being-more Kosovan".
Kosovo was never an identity, always Serbian.

Actually, it makes some sense to say Kosovo Albanian, since people from Kosova can be either Albanian or Serb.

Of course Kosovar is an identity. It's like Vojvodian Serb.

I don't understand how that disproves Kosovar as an identity.

Tell me a little about Kosovar culture. The term was given birth on march of 1999.

I don't know about Kosovar culture, all I know is, it's an identity. It only considered an "Identity" to justify the illegal seperation of Kosovo from Serbia. If Kosovans were they're own people, an independant Kosovo would be justifiable, but they're not. Albanians are from Albania. Serbians are from Serbia. Like I said; "Kosovar" or "Kosovan" was invented in '99. Prior to that the term never existed.

What about Montenegro? or Austria? or Andorra? or Canada? People from the same ethnicity always make new countries.

the albanians there aren't trying to be kosovans, they're Albanians. You'll see way more alb flags there than kosovo flags.

That's because the country is new. If it lives to 50 years, you'll see more Kosovar flags.

Albanians view this as their expansion and take pride in it. There is a huge difference.

Then in 50 years, you won't have to worry about Kosovo, since it will join Albania, if you're observations are correct.

UZ, Kosovar isn't an ethnic term and no one claims that it's an ethnic term. However, it's a regional term for someone who comes from Kosova, it's mostly used to describe Albanians from Kosova. It's not a made up term either, it's only meant to describe Albanians mostly from Kosova. The same way one calls people that are from Sandzak for 'Sandzakli".
It's not considered as an identity of its own. Also, it doesn't really matter if Kosovars are a unique people or not, the reasons for independence are a little bit more complex than that.
You have a horrible understanding of history. You actually seem to believe that nation states have always existed!
Kosovar Albanians are different culturally from other Albanians which goes for Albanians from all regions. There's cultural differences between Albanians in Southern-Albania from region to region for example and that's normal, every country has its regional differences and if you think otherwise you're ignorant.
