ICG SOUTH BALKANS
---------------------------------
ICG's latest report, "The New Kosovo Protectorate" (20 June) compares the
framework of military and civilian involvement in Kosovo established by UN
Security Council Resolution 1244 with the provisions of the Rambouillet
agreement of 23 February. The new model is reminiscent of the old League of
Nations mandates in that it charges the foreign administrators with
preparing Kosovo for self-government, although it is also vague about the
final status of Kosovo; but in the present volatile state of the Balkans
that is sensible: the environment in which the future of Kosovo is finally
decided will be very different from the present.
In a recent related report, "Kosovo: let's learn from Bosnia" (May 17,
1999), ICG analysts looked at how experience in Bosnia could be useful in
Kosovo, and also at the extent to which the Rambouillet agreement of 23
February 1999 resembled the Dayton agreement of 21 November 1995.
