	Kosovo War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kosovo's borders did not precisely match the areas of ethnic Albanian settlement in Yugoslavia (significant numbers of Albanians were left in the Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, and Serbia proper, while the far north of Kosovo remained largely ethnic Serbian).
		Kosovo was by some standards the poorest part of Yugoslavia: in 1979 the average per capita income was $795, compared with the national average of $2,635 (and $5,315 in Slovenia).
		Kosovo's Serbian population was soon reduced by over 75%, with NATO apparently unable to provide much security to Serbs outside a few enclaves, most notably the northern town of Mitrovica and the surrounding countryside.

	UNDP Kosovo - Conflict Prevention and Reconciliation Initiative (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Kosovo is in a period of delicate transition — politically, economically, and socially.
		The intra-community conflict and tensions are being fueled particularly by the lack of assistance for housing reconstruction.
		This achievement is especially relevant as Skenderaj is viewed as the center of ant-Serb sentiment in Kosovo and was the birthplace of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA).

	INCORE : Services: ECRD
		The Commission urges that the people of Kosovo reject revanchism and build on the framework of peace and freedom that has been extended to them, that they develop tolerance and a desire to live at peace with their neighbors.
		Kosovo offers a warning that (1) ethnic disharmony and strife exist or can be stirred up in many places; (2) that ruthless would-be leaders can exploit ethnic issues for their own gain; and (3) that regimes, drawing on the ethnic conflict, can commit the most brutal human rights abuses, unless somehow checked.
		Though the results of recent interventions in Bosnia-Hercegovina and Kosovo are not yet known and the work of the international protectorate in Kosovo is ongoing, the issue of intervention cannot be left to leisurely study.

	Independent International Commission on Kosovo: The Kosovo Report
		The conflict in Kosovo cannot be understood except in the broader regional context.
		In Kosovo, insufficient attention has been paid to the impact of the conflict on women, in particular, the use of rape as a weapon of war, and the rise of trafficking in the post-conflict period.
		Kosovo was not included in the Dayton negotiations because Tudjman and Izetbegovic were not interested in Kosovo and Milosevic would have refused to consider it.

		Kosovo lies in southern Serbia and has a mixed population of which the majority are ethnic Albanians.
		It was agreed, in addition, that the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) would establish a Kosovo Verification Mission (KVM) to observe compliance on the ground and that NATO would establish an aerial surveillance mission.
		On 20 March, the OSCE Kosovo Verification Mission was withdrawn from the region, having faced obstruction from Serbian forces to the extent that they could no longer continue to fulfil their task.

	Kosovo Conflict

		After the Vietnam war, there was a study on the conflict where a group of researchers tried to find out if there was a better way of handling the conflict.

	Kosovo - UN Security Council - Global Policy Forum
		Kosovo Serbs say boycotting the election was "punishment" for both the international community's and Albanian leadership's failure to protect Serbs in the March 2004 riots.
		In an effort to restore peace in Kosovo after recent violence, the UN is pushing Kosovo authorities to implement policies, such as the establishment of the rule of law and public respect for law and order, before negotiating the province's disputed final status.
		Despite admitting that the notion of building a multi-ethnic society has failed in the province, UN envoy in Kosovo Harri Holkeri stated that rushing a decision on the province's final status is tantamount to giving in to the violence and would not solve the conflict in the long run.

	NATO - Kosovo Conflict
		In the case of Kosovo, the international community strongly questioned the actions of the Serbian leader, Slobodan Milosevic, and whether or not his government had committed genocide according to international law.
		The ethnic conflict in Kosovo must first be assessed for its legitimacy in causing international concern and such intense scrutiny.
		The Kosovo conflict is based around these points and thus I feel it is important to look at the issues at hand with a legal perspective.
