Abstract

Kosovo is a small landlocked region of 10,887 sq. km. The bulk of the territory is a relatively flat elevated plain, bordered by mountains, the highest of which rises to 2656 m. The Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY) was a political reconfiguration of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, a state set up in 1918 under Serbia's ruling dynasty, and originally known (until 1929) as the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. On 28 November 1997, three Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) members publicly declared the existence of their organisation at the funeral of an Albanian school teacher. NATO began bombing targets in Yugoslavia on 24 March 1999 in a campaign that would last for 78 days. On 9 June a Military Technical Agreement signed at Kumanovo in Macedonia. This provided for the deployment of an international security and civil presence in Kosovo, following a resolution from the Security Council. Keywords:Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA); NATO intervention; Security Council Resolution; Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY)
