Documenting Violations of International Humanitarian Law in Kosovo 1999 II Reality Demands Documenting Violations of International Humanitarian Law in Kosovo 1999 II CONTRIBUTORS This report is a resu lt of the work of numerous individuals, who cannot, unfortunately, each be named individually here, but all of whom are sincerely thanked. The following persons worked on the Humanitarian Law Documentation Project and contributed directly to the drafting and editing of the report: LORNA DAVIDSON AND SCOTT BRANDON (EDITORS) NICCOLO FIGA-TALAMANCA (PROJECT DIRECTOR) THEODORA ADEKUNLE EWEN ALLISON RICHARD BEDNAREK JONATHAN CINA CHRISTOPHER DECKER PAMELA DICKSON DANIELLE HICKMAN KOSAR HUSSAIN ANNA JACKSON BETTINA NEUEFEIND JILL O’HARA SIMON RIDLEY ANNE RUBESAME ALISON SMITH JOHN STOMPOR GIORGIA TORTORA JAMES WHOOLEY © Copyright 2000:International Crisis Group,149 Avenue Louise - Level 16,B-1050 Brussels,Belgium Cover photograph:International Crisis Group III The following pages are dedicated to our friend and colleague, Julia Ziegler, who was tragically taken away from us and her family in an accident in Kosovo on 12 November 1999. Julia gave so much of herself to the Project and to our welfare. Reality Demands was one of her favourite poems. We hope that this report in some way provides an insight into the commitment and compassion that she and so many others demonstrated in striving to meet the demands of reality in Kosovo. V REALITY DEMANDS Reality demands we also state the following: life goes on. At Cannae and Borodino, at Kosovo Polje and in Guernica. There is a gas station in a small plaza in Jericho, and freshly painted benches near Bila Hora. Letters travel between Pearl Harbor and Hastings, a furniture truck passes before the eyes of the lion of Chaeronea, and only an atmospheric front advances towards the blossoming orchards near Verdun. There is so much of Everything, that Nothing is quite well-concealed. Music flows from yachts at Actium and on board couples dance in the sun. So much keeps happening, that it must be happening everywhere. Where not a stone is left standing, there is an ice cream truck besieged by children. Where Hiroshima had been, Hiroshima is again manufacturing products for everyday use. VI Not without its draws is this terrible world, not without its dawns worth our waking. In the fields of Maciejowice the grass is green and on the grass is you know how grass is transparent dew. Maybe there are no fields but battlefields, those still remembered, and those long forgotten, birch groves and cedar groves, snows and sands, iridescent swamps, and ravines of dark defeat where today, in sudden need, you squat behind a bush. What moral flows from this? Probably none. But what really flows is quickly-drying blood, and as always, some rivers and clouds. On the tragic mountain passes the wind blows hats off heads and we cannot help but laugh. Wislawa Szymborska (translated by Joanna Trzeciak) First published in Ploughshares.

  • The Establishment of New Municipalities in Kosovo Budgetary Implications and Financial Self- Sustainability
    July 2013 The establishment of new Municipalities in Kosovo Budgetary implications and financial self- sustainability EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Following the local elections held in 2000, 30 municipalities became functional as basic units of local self-government. In 2005 UNMIK administration initiated the pilot project for establishment of new municipalities. Hani i Elezit, Junik dhe Mamusha, were established as pilot municipalities, whereas after the 2009 local elections acquired the status of municipalities with the right to exercise powers granted to other municipalities. In the meantime, in accordance with the Comprehensive Proposal for the Kosovo Status Settlement, four new municipalities where established, namely Graçanica, Partesh, Kllokot and Ranillug. The existing Law on Administrative Municipal Boundaries (2008) created the framework for establishment of new municipalities. After the 2009 local elections, 11 groups of villages have submitted requests to the Ministry of Local Government Administration (MLGA), acquiring the status of municipality. Until May 2013, when the Kosovo Government decides to create two new municipalities in the Has region, these requests were not taken into consideration. However, current decisions for the establishment of new municipalities and promises for establishment of additional new ones, are not based on adequate assessment of relevant ministries, as required by the Law on Administrative Municipal Boundaries. Although, the legal basis for establishment of new municipalities is not sufficient, ten requests of groups of villages submitted to the MLGA do not comply not even with the existing legal requirements set forth in the Law on Administrative Municipal Boundaries. The basic criteria on the minimum size of population and territory that each municipality should fulfill, is not provided.

  • A Diplomatic History of the 1998–99 Kosovo Conflict
    FROM DAYTON TO ALLIED FORCE: A DIPLOMATIC HISTORY OF THE 1998–99 KOSOVO CONFLICT by Christian Novak A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences University of Sydney 2017 ii I declare that the research presented here is my own original work and has not been submitted to any other institution for the award of a degree iii Abstract This thesis reconstructs the diplomatic response of the international community to the Kosovo conflict of 1998–99. It outlines the process which resulted in the failure of negotiations involving outside agencies and individuals as well as the recourse to air strikes against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Using primary sourced material from the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, personal interviews and other carefully selected primary sources, this thesis explores why international attempts to find a negotiated solution failed. iv Acknowledgements Numerous people have assisted in the completion of this thesis. I would firstly like to acknowledge my research supervisor, Professor Glenda Sluga, for her guidance over the years. My gratitude is also extended to John Drewienkiewicz, Josef Janning, Richard Miles, Klaus Naumann, and Lord David Owen, all of whom took out time from their busy schedules to answer my questions. In particular, I wish to thank Wolfgang Petritsch. His accessibility and willingness to explain the events of 1998–99 considerably enhanced my own understanding of the crisis. Special thanks is reserved for my parents, Anne and David, who have gone above and beyond to support me.

  • Third Assessment of the Situation of Ethnic Minorities in Kosovo
    UNHCR Assessment of the Situation of Ethnic Minorities In Kosovo (period covering October 2000 through February 2001) Executive Summary In this seventh joint report we aim to give an overview of the security situation of minority communities in Kosovo. At the same time we focus on a selected number of issues of particular concern such as: return; access to health services; property issues; participation in political structures and access to employment. The format differs somewhat from the previous report in its focus on a limited number of key issues as opposed to an all-encompassing review. While this is the result of a deliberate decision to undertake a more targeted assessment, it is also a reflection of other stark realities. With the passing of time the lack of lasting improvements for minority populations means that we are at increasing risk of merely repeating issues, concerns and recommendations addressed at length in previous assessments. The continued lack of adequate security remains the key issue for minorities. The reporting period was marked by a deterioration in the overall security situation. It was punctuated at its beginning by the killing of four Ashkaelia returnees, and, at its end, by a series of fatal attacks singling out Kosovo Serbs on some of the major transport routes used by them to maintain links with Serbia. These attacks culminated with the 16 February atrocity targeting the “Nis Express” bus service, in which ten Kosovo Serbs, including a couple and their infant child, died. The period in-between was characterised by an upsurge in attacks against the person and property of minority populations.
