Project Overview

ICG has been active in Kosovo since late 1997, when it started following up advance warnings of impending crisis. As the conflict unfolded in the province, ICG issued a series of reports cataloguing events and analysing the strategies of key players in Kosovo and the Belgrade regime. ICG also provided a detailed assessment of the NATO air campaign against Yugoslavia and the peace agreement hammered out in June 1999. A team of three analysts is currently based in Pristina, reporting on the peace process and efforts to defuse tensions, establish the rule of law and create a functioning system of self-government.

ICG's most recent reports on Kosovo are:

Elections in Kosovo: Moving Toward Democracy? (7 July 2000), an assessment of progress made to date toward Kosovo's first democratic, internationally supervised local elections scheduled for the autumn of 2000;

Reality Demands (27 June 2000), a report documenting humanitarian law violations committed in Kosovo during 1999;

Kosovo's Linchpin: Overcoming Division in Mitrovica (31 May 2000), a review of the stand-off between Kosovo Serbs and Albanians in this northern Kosovo city and an analysis of the tensions between them; and

What Happened to the KLA? (3 March 2000), an assessment of the role being played in post-war Kosovo by the leaders and members of the Kosovo Liberation Army - formally dismantled last September, but still exercising pervasiv influence.
