I wish first of all to extend my heartfelt condolences, in my own name and on behalf of all of UNMIK, to President Rugova's family -may you find strength and comfort in each other and in your faith to see you through this very painful moment. I also want to extend my condolences to the people of Kosovo and the PISG. President Rugova's unwavering belief in his vision for Kosovo, which he pursued so determinedly throughout his life, earned him the respect of not only the people of Kosovo but also the wider international community. I have had the pleasure and privilege of meeting the President very frequently. I will always remember him as a wise, thoughtful, committed and warm person. It is particularly tragic that President Rugova should leave us at this very decisive moment for the future of Kosovo. The best tribute we can pay to President Rugova and his legacy is to stay united during the coming months. Indeed, this is the moment for all the people and political leaders of Kosovo to pull together and show the maturity and wisdom that would serve Kosovo well now and in the future. President Rugova was a unifying force, a talented and highly-committed leader who continued to work tirelessly for Kosovo until his last days. He leaves behind a legacy of determination and perseverance, and dialogue. He will always have a unique place in the history of Kosovo.".

  • CRS Report for Congress Received Through the CRS Web
    96-790 F Updated June 16, 1998 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Kosovo and U.S. Policy Steven Woehrel Specialist in European Affairs Foreign Affairs and National Defense Division Summary Kosovo, a region in southern Serbia, has been the focal point of bitter struggles between Serbs and Albanians for centuries. Leaders of the ethnic Albanian majority in Kosovo say their people will settle for nothing less than complete independence for their region, while almost all Serb political leaders have been adamantly opposed to Kosovo’s independence or even a substantial grant of autonomy to Kosovo. Conflict between ethnic Albanian rebels and Serb police has resulted in over 300 deaths since late February 1998. The United States has spoken out repeatedly against human rights abuses in Kosovo, but does not support Kosovar demands for independence, only an "enhanced status" within the Serbia-Montenegro (the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia) that would include meaningful self-administration. The United States and its allies in the international Contact Group (the United States, Russia, Germany, France, Britain and Italy) have used a "carrot-and-stick" approach of sanctions and inducements to stop Serb attacks against civilians and get the two sides to the negotiating table. NATO is reportedly examining options to use force against Serbia-Montenegro if diplomacy and sanctions fail. This report will be updated as events warrant. Background Kosovo, a region in southern Serbia, has a population of 2 million and is one of the poorest regions of the former Yugoslavia.1 It has been the focal point of bitter struggles between Serbs and Albanians for centuries.

    Recovering Nonviolent History Civil Resistance in Liberation Struggles edited by Maciej J. Bartkowski boulder london 15 Kosovo: Civil Resistance in Defense of the Nation, 1990s Howard Clark Each year on March 5–7, Kosovo celebrates the Epopee of the Kosova Liberation Army (KLA)—the anniversary of the 1998 gun battle in the village of Donji Prekaz where Adem Jashari, a founder of the KLA, and more than fifty of his family members were killed. The Jashari home is now a shrine. The Epopee includes the Night of Flames when fifty fires are lit and a gathering in Prekaz of Kosovo’s leading dignitaries and the uniformed suc - cessors of the KLA (at one time the Kosovo Protection Corps, now the Kosovo Security Force). The main speeches in 2010 were made by the prime minister and president—at that time Hashim Thaçi, a founder of the KLA, and Fatmir Sejdiu, a founder and leader of the Democratic League of Kosova (LDK), the party most associated with the nonviolent struggle. Sejdiu began, On March 5, 1998 . the legendary Commander of the Kosovo Libera - tion Army, Adem Jashari, and his father Shaban and his brother Hamëz, fell on the altar of freedom. That day, besides these three martyrs, many other children and members of Jashari family were deprived of their lives. But, by virtue of their matchless sacrifice, they were decorated with the most precious and gilded crown in the history of our long-lasting war for freedom and independence and turned into an incomparable symbol of sublime self-sacrifice for the homeland.

KAHN Non-Argument Calendar CLERK ________________________ BIA No. A96-017-506 XHEVAT GASHI, Petitioner, versus U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL, Respondent. ________________________ Petition for Review of a Decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals _________________________ (January 10, 2007) Before TJOFLAT, HULL and FAY, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: Xhevat Gashi, a native and citizen of Kosovo, through counsel, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) decision denying his motion to reopen his proceedings regarding his application for asylum, filed pursuant to 8 U.S.C. §§ 1158, 1231. Gashi argues that the BIA should have granted his motion to reopen because he presented new and material evidence of changed country conditions in Kosovo that supported his application for asylum. For the reasons set forth more fully below, we deny Gashi’s petition for review. Gashi arrived in the United States under the visa waiver program and was referred to the Immigration Judge (“IJ”) for asylum-only proceedings. Gashi filed an application for asylum, alleging that he was persecuted in Kosovo on account of his nationality as an ethnic Albanian and his status as a member of the Democratic League of Kosovo (“LDK”). The IJ denied Gashi’s applications for relief, finding that Gashi had not met his burden of establishing that he suffered past persecution in Kosovo or had a well-founded fear of persecution there on account of one of the protected grounds.
