Today, after nearly 20 years, the wars are over, in most areas peace has set in, and stability has been achieved. And yet, in our interview with Blerim Reka, he echoes Clinton’s words saying: “It is the duty of our generation to tell our grandchildren the successful story of the Balkans, different from the bloody Balkans one which we were told about.” This and many more observations made by the authors of this issue of New Eastern Europe piece together a complex picture of a region marred by a painful past and facing a hopeful, yet fragile future.

  • Central and Eastern Europe
    Central and Eastern Europe Germany National Affairs IERMAN POLITICS IN 2001, especially in the second half of the year, were largely geared toward the national elections to be held in 2002, though the unexpected events of September 11 made previous political assumptions highly uncertain. In November, Prime Minister Gerhard Schroder (Social Democratic Party, SPD) accepted the resignation of his foreign affairs advisor, Michael Steiner, who had embarrassed the government by demanding caviar and insulting senior German soldiers during a delayed flight to Germany via Moscow. He was replaced by Dieter Kastrup, Germany's ambassador to the UN since 1998. Kastrup previously served in em- bassies in Brazil, Iran, and the U.S., and was appointed ambassador to Italy in 1994. Steiner had already been pressured to quit his post in May after he was blamed for leaking a private communique supposedly sug- gesting that Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi had admitted Libyan in- volvement in the 1988 Lockerbie airliner bombing and the 1986 bomb at- tack on a West Berlin night club in which several U.S. servicemen died. The government denied that Qaddafi said any such thing to Steiner. The election of the ultraconservative judge Ronald Schill as Ham- burg's minister of interior in late September sent a chill down the spines of those concerned about extremism in mainstream German politics. Schill, who won more than 19 percent of the vote on a law-and-order plat- form in a city with a high crime rate, was known as the "merciless judge" for his tendency to hand down severe verdicts in minor cases.
