KOSOVO, BALKANS
The Independent Republic of Kosovo, where for centuries opposing ethnic clans have been waging war against one another, was commended for its improvements in public saftey in a recent report issued by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
The Chief of OSCE in Kosovo, Tim Guildmann, reports that "the general opinion regarding the work and responsibility of the security public organs is very good."
Kosovo borders Albania to the west, Central Serbia to the north and east, the Republic of Macedonia to the south, and Montenegro to the northwest. While violent unrest was still a major problem as recently as 2004, Kosovo issued its own declaration of independence from Serbia on 17 February 2008. This weekend as we in the States are celebrating our own independence, it's nice to know that other war-fatigued countries are also feeling the positive effects of peace, liberty, and justice for all.
