Security and Human Rights (2020) 1-5 Book Review ∵ Daan W. Everts (with a foreword by Jaap de Hoop Scheffer), Peacekeeping in Albania and Kosovo; Conflict response and international intervention in the Western Balkans, 1997 – 2002 (I.B.Tauris, July 2020), 228p. £. 13,99 paperback Fortunately, at the international scene there are those characters who venture into complex crises and relentlessly work for their solution. Sergio Viero de Melo seems to be their icon. Certainly, Daan Everts, the author of Peacekeeping in Albania and Kosovo belongs to this exceptional group of pragmatic crisis managers in the field. Between 1997 and 2002 he was the osce’s represent- ative in crisis-hit Albania and Kosovo. Now, twenty years later, Mr Everts has published his experiences, and luckily so; the book is rich in content and style, and should become obligatory reading for prospective diplomats and military officers; and it certainly is interesting material for veterans of all sorts. Everts presents the vicissitudes of his life in Tirana and Pristina against the background of adequate introductions to Albanian and Kosovar history, which offer no new insights or facts. All in all, the book is a sublime primary source of diplomatic practice. The largest, and clearly more interesting part of the book is devoted to the intervention in Kosovo. As a matter of fact, the 1999 war in Kosovo deepened ethnic tensions in the territory. Therefore, the author says, the mission in Kosovo was highly complex, also because the mandate was ambivalent with regard to Kosovo’s final status. Furthermore, the international community (Everts clearly does not like that term) for the time being had to govern Kosovo as a protectorate.

In a previous article we have explained in detail the counter-revolutionary aims of this meeting and its purposes to oppose the re¬ volutionary and anti-imperialist struggle of the people. Today we shall dwell only on some aspects of the confused, contradictory and desperate at¬ mosphere, characterizing the revisionist pack on the threshold of a meeting for which the Soviet revisionists have not spared either big propaganda words or numerous material means. The Brezhnev-Kosygin clique has for several years tried through flattery, pressure, fraud and threats, to organize a big revisionist parade that would acclaim its line and recognize it as a supreme guide of the international communist movement*. It has pinned great hopes on this meeting which it has regarded as the promised land. In the first place, 3 being under the constant pressure of the people’s masses and upright communists, because of the incompatibility with its treacherous course of res¬ toration of capitalism at home and of collaboration with imperialism abroad, the revisionist leadership of the Soviet Union is seeking to deceive the Soviet people by telling them that its line cannot but be «Marxist-Leninist», since it has been ap¬ proved also at a large communist meeting which was attended by so many parties.

The home, nature and memory are motifs that recur in his poetics, while travel and movement between different cultures and nations become vehicles for the creation of new visions. Over the past decade Halilaj has lived in Kosovo, Italy and Germany. Most importantly, he has experienced the rebirth of an independent country, his place of origin. The complex geo- political realities that shaped his life and find reflection in his work are presented as comprehensive, nevertheless individual experiences of the world. Halilaj uses sculptures, drawings, performances, videos and installations to explore the historical changes taking place around him as well as his surrounding context.

Tirana - Durrës Region: Upgrade of the Electricity Transmission Network
Tirana - Durrës Region: Upgrade of the Electricity Transmission Network Project Financing WBIF Grant TA3-ALB-ENE-01 € 577,000 WBIF Grant WB4-ALB-ENE-01 € 577,605 OST Own Contribution € 5,000,000 KFW Loan € 40,000,000 Total € 46,154,605 Total Grants € 1,154,605 Total Loans € 40,000,000 Project Description This project will enable the construction of a reliable electricity transmission system in Tirana and neighbouring region, towards Durres. Specifically, it will entail: construction a 220 kV double circuit line from SS Tirana 2 to Rrashbull, a new 220/220 kV substation in Rrogozhina as well as power transformer upgrade in SS Rrashbull. construction of a new 220/110 kV substation (SS Tirana 3) with an installed capacity of 120 MVA (Sauk area) and the reinforcement 110 kV Tirana ring. The improvements will reduce electricity losses as well as power cuts, which regularly affect 50% of the region's residents and 30% of its private businesses. Current air pollution caused by the diesel generators used during power outages is also expected to decrease. The WBIF has allocated more than €1,100,000 as EU grant to the preparation of feasibility studies, including preliminary designs, for these two developments. Results and Benefits encourage economic growth in the Tirana area due to better electricity supply and reduced load shedding afford the electricity supply load growth rate which, for Tirana areas, is about 5.8% yearly (average one for the period 2003-2008) normalize supply of unsupplied load which actually for sub-urban areas is about 10-15%

Beyond Frozen Conflicts in South East Europe: the Belgrade- Pristina/Pristina-Belgrade Dialogue and Its Regional Implications
Policy Recommendations of the PfP-Consortium of Defense Academies and Security Studies Institutes Study Group Regional Stability in South East Europe and the Kosovar Institute for Policy Research and Development 1 Beyond Frozen Conflicts in South East Europe: the Belgrade- Pristina/Pristina-Belgrade Dialogue and its Regional Implications Overview of the Security and Political Developments in Kosovo On 17 February 2008, Kosovo declared independence after nine years of civilian administration by the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK). The unilateral declaration was also a result of lack of a joint agreement on Kosovo’s final status during the UN- led talks between Pristina and Belgrade. Kosovo’s declaration of independence, supported by the US and several European Union countries, changed the negotiating positions of Pristina and Belgrade. In cooperation with some EU member states, Serbia submitted a resolution to the United Nations claiming that the unilateral declaration of independence of Kosovo was a breach of international law. The International Court of Justice, the presiding authority over the case through an advisory opinion stated that Kosovo did not violate any international laws by unilaterally declaring independence. 2 It was then clear that neither Kosovo, backed by international supporters, nor Serbia, claiming sovereignty over Kosovo, were ready to 1 These policy recommendations reflect the findings of the 23 rd RSSEE workshop on “Beyond Frozen Conflicts in South East Europe: the Belgrade-Pristina/ Pristina-Belgrade Dialogue and its Regional Implications” convened by the PfP Consortium Study Group “Regional Stability in South East Europe” and the Kosovar Institute for Policy Research and Development, from 22 – 24 September 2011 in Pristina.

Optimismo Radical PR Final
Optimismo Radical Through September 3 Paulo Bruscky Waltercio Caldas Luis Camnitzer Jota Castro Juan Manuel Echavarria Dario Escobar Patrick Hamilton Artur Lescher Rafael Lozano-Hemmer Marco Maggi Liliana Porter Ana Tiscornia Josée Bienvenu Gallery is pleased to present Optimismo Radical. Bringing together twelve international artists, the exhibition is an invitation to reﬂect on those two words. Two redundant or contradictory words? Is Radical Optimism the opposite of moderate optimism? Or the opposite of conservative pessimism? The challenge is to articulate a series of questions, to detect some trends and attitudes. Conceived as a project in motion, Optimismo Radical 2 will take place in São Paulo at Galeria Nara Roesler in 2011. Paulo Bruscky was born in Recife, Brazil, where he lives and works. He has actively participated in the Brazilian art scene since the late 1960ʼs. His artistic practice is varied and experimental, combining performance, public interventions, drawings, mail art, video, radio, books and exploring multiple techniques such electrography and Xerox art among others. He was included in the São Paulo Biennial in 1981, 1989 and 2004 and in the Havana Biennial in 1984 and 2009. In 1981, he received a Guggenheim Fellowship. Born in Brazil, Waltercio Caldas lives and works in Rio de Janeiro. Considered one of the most important contemporary Brazilian artists, his work is often related to the Brazilian Neo-Concrete movement of the 1960ʼs. Exhibiting actively since the 1970ʼs he has represented Brazil at Documenta IX (1992); 23rd São Paulo Biennial (1996) and 47th Venice Biennale (1997). He was invited by Robert Storr to be part of the 52nd Venice Biennial (2007).

Kosovo Introduction
KOSOVO INTRODUCTION Like Albania, Kosovar history is believed to date to Illyria in the 4th Century BC and to the Roman Empire. In the 9th to early 11th centuries, the Kosovo region was ruled by Bulgaria. From 1389 to the late 19th century, the region came under Ottoman rule; in the early 20th century, Kosovo was ruled by Serbia. In 1946, Kosovo became part of the Yugoslav federation. During the 1990’s, Kosovo sought independence from Serbia, with brutal results, including mistreatment of ethnic Albanians; during the 2000’s, the United Nations attempted to secure Kosovar independence, which is supported by Albania and rejected by Serbia. At this time, although technically still a part of Serbia, Kosovo is an international protectorate administered by the United Nations. Kosovo, a land-locked area, is bordered clockwise by Serbia, Macedonia, Albania, and Montenegro. The official name is the Republic of Kosovo (Kosova / Kosovë), with its capital at Pristina (Prishtina / Prishtinë). Population estimates vary from 1.8 to 2.2 million. With independence from Serbia declared on February 17, 2008, the Kosovar government is a parliamentary republic. Religious affliations are Muslim, Albanian Orthodox, and Roman Catholic; ethnic populations are Albanian, 88%; Serbs, 7%; and 5% other including Bosnian, Gorani, Roma / Gypsy, Ashkali, Egyptian, and Turkish. Although the official languages are Albanian and Serbian, Bosnian and Turkish are official in those municipalities with substantial minority populations; in addtion, English and German are also spoken. Literacy rates vary from 92% to 98% for men and 88% to 90% for women.
