    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.

  • Montenegro Guidebook
    MONTENEGRO PREFACE Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro, lies in a broad plain crossed by five rivers and surrounded by mountains, just 20 kilometers from the Albanian border. The city has a population of around 180,000 people. Bombed into rubble during World War II, Podgorica was rebuilt into a modern urban center, with high-rise apartment buildings and new office and shopping developments. While the latest Balkan war had a low impact on the physical structures, the economic sanctions had a devastating effect on employment and infrastructure. With the help of foreign investment, urban renewal is evident throughout the city, but much of it may still appear run down. Podgorica has a European-style town center with a pedestrian- only walking street (mall) and an assortment of restaurants, cafes, and boutiques. To many, its principal attraction is as a base for the exploration of Montenegro’s natural beauty, with mountains and wild countryside all around and the stunning Adriatic coastline less than an hour away. This is a mountainous region with barren moorlands and virgin forests, with fast-flowing rivers and picturesque lakes; Skadar Lake in particular is of ecological significance. The coastline is known for its sandy beaches and dramatic coves: for example, Kotor – the city that is protected by UNESCO and the wonderful Cathedral of Saint Typhoon; the unique baroque Perast; Saint George and Our Lady of the Rock islands – all locations that tell a story of a lasting civilization and the wealth of the most wonderful bay in the world. The area around the city of Kotor is a UNESCO World Heritage site for its natural beauty and historic significance.

    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.
