Kosovo
------

While the world watched in fascination as mass demonstrations in Belgrade
toppled Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic from power, the mood in
Kosovo turned increasingly anxious. ICG's Balkans Briefing (10 October
2000) takes a close look at the reactions in Kosovo to the events in
Belgrade, highlighting the radicalisation of Kosovo Albanian opinion on
issues such as cooperation with the international community and Kosovo's
future status. A number of flashpoints for a possible major new flare-up
are identified in the briefing, including the unconditional lifting of all
sanctions against Serbia, the return of some Serbian troops permitted
under UNSC 1244 and a ruling out of independence as an eventual outcome
for Kosovo Albanians.
