Abstract

Kosovo – from Dayton to Rambouillet

Highlights

Setting from these discrepancies and detractions of policies and interests of greater powers of Europe, and the impossibility of approximating and unifying these extremes, to make Europe a Union in its essence and full meaning of the word, the actions of the USA in resolving the crisis are comprehensible and justifiable. There were other conferences and talks about the Yugoslav Crisis, starting with the Brioni, Lisbon, The Hague (1991), London and Geneva (1992 -1995), only to come to Dayton (1995). All these conferences and talks about the Yugoslav crisis tackled many other problems in finding a solution, but they did not include Kosovo. The same ignorance, or even a worse one, was felt by Kosovo Albanians in the conference to come, which would be held in Dayton, Ohio, USA, in November 1995 In this case, under Milosevic’s persistence and threat of avoiding, or later deserting the conference if Kosovo would be a topic, the agreement was for this matter to not be mentioned at all. One may only mention a statement by the leader of LDK
