THIS WEEK IN BALKAN CRISIS REPORT:
 
RAMBOUILLET AND AFTER:
 
PRACTISING THE PROCESS OF PEACE. If Milosevic didn't agree at
Rambouillet, what could possibly compel him to agree a few weeks
later? Anthony Borden reports from outside the chateau.
 
WHY THE KLA REFUSED. The KLA balked in hopes of returning with a
stronger political - and military - hand at the followup talks in
March. Fron Nazi calculates the gamble.
 
MILOSEVIC'S WINNING HAND. The Yugoslav president will continue to
exploit frictions within the Contract Group and the KLA. Dejan
Anastasijevic in Belgrade assesses yet another Belgrade victory.
 
THE HARD SELL. The returning delegates laid out a strong case that one
more conference will bring results. Gjeraqina Tuhina in Pristina
watches the start of a crucial campaign.
 
COMMENT: KOSOVO CONTRADICTIONS. Can the West's support for autonomy
hold? Anthony Borden considers the West's policy trap.

THIS WEEK IN BALKAN CRISIS REPORT:

COMING APART AT THE SEAMS?

ALBANIANS TO SIGN, BELGRADE TO IGNORE. While the Albanians appear
ready to sign up and Belgrade continues to hold out, Western resolve
appears to be waning. Fron Nazi reports.

SPRING COMES TO KOSOVO. As many people feared, spring has brought an
increase in the fighting and a new humanitarian crisis to Kosovo.
Gjeraqhina Tuhina reports from Pristina.

KOSOVO SERBS: LITTLE PROTECTION AND LESS AID. Serbs living in Kosovo
are preoccupied with their own misery and fears for the future.
Gordana Igric reports.

SKOJPE'S BULGARIAN QUESTION. Iso Rusi in Skopje finds Macedonia and
Bulgaria achieving a substantive breakthrough, on language, minority
and other issues.

YUGOSLAVIA'S EASTERN FRONT. Bulgaria's pro-Western policy is met by a
threat of war from the Serbian extremist Vojislav Seselj.

Plus:

GREECE, OCALAN AND THE SHADOW STATE.  The Ocalan fiasco confirmed the
continuing power of the ultra-nationalist "parastate" in Greece, and
threatens the continuation of the government's modernising,
pro-European policies.

BREAKING THE MAN OR BREAKING THE MOVEMENT. The Turkish authorities
have captured the PKK leader. But Ocalan's arrest may end up inspiring
the Kurdish movement in Turkey.
