Environmentalist says EU's soft climate change policy negative signal to other countries
A proposal by the European Commission to not set energy targets for each member nation has raised concern that the European Union is stepping away from its policy to fight climate change and discouraging aspiring EU members from adhering to set goals.
The European Commission, the 28-nation bloc's executive arm, on Wednesday called for greenhouse gas emissions to be reduced by 40 percent by 2030 c

STORYLINE:
Both sides of Kosovo's ethnic divide ignored NATO pleas for restraint on Friday, as revenge attacks prompted more panicky Serbs to flee the province.
Twenty kilometres south of Prizren, the town of Strpce accommodates one thousand Serb refugees.
Recent arrivals tell of their disbelief in being forced out of their homes, but also how their Albanian neighbours have helped them escape.
Not far away, in the village of Musnikovo, two elderly women, one ethnic Albanian Muslim and the other Orthodox Serb, continue to live their life as neighbours and friends.
Fearing reprisals from the K-L-A and Albanian Mafia, Serb citizens from Kosovo are still fleeing their homes.
The recent wave of revenge attacks has prompted more panicky Serbs to flee the province, while ethnic Albanian refugees flood home.
The U-N High Commissioner for Refugees estimates that about 48-thousand ethnic Albanians returned on Thursday alone.
This brought to more than 300-thousand the total number who have come back into the province in the past 10 days.

A proposal by the European Commission to not set energy targets for each member nation has raised concern that the European Union is stepping away from its policy to fight climate change and discouraging aspiring EU members from adhering to set goals.
The European Commission, the 28-nation bloc's executive arm, on Wednesday called for greenhouse gas emissions to be reduced by 40 percent by 2030 compared with 1990 levels, revised upward from its existing 2020 target of a 20 percent reduction.
But to the dismay of Germany, pro-environmentalist groups and others, it is not proposing tougher binding renewable energy targets for each nation, but only introducing a less ambitious pan-European goal of 27 percent by 2030.
The policy is likely to have an effect on aspiring countries as well, especially in the Balkans where many countries rely on coal-based power plants, said environmentalist, Luan Shllaku.
The region was making efforts to strengthen its economic base and if not limited, the damage to the environment could be considerable, he warned.
"I would say many countries around they have at least enough lignite to burn for this purposes, so I think that the only way to control this is by keeping policies 20-20-20," he said in Pristina on Wednesday, referring to the earlier key objectives for 2020.
Kosovo has one of the largest reserves of lignite coal and wants to tie its fragile economy to a new power plant.
An existing Yugoslav-era power plant is considered one of the highest polluters in the region.
Shllaku said the EU should stick to its tough policy on gas emissions as an example to aspiring members and the world and not back away from its set goals to fight climate change.
A dry winter has already raised alarm among environmentalists, some of whom blame shortage of snowfall on global climate change.
Kosovo's water supply company has warned half a million people in and around the capital Pristina could be severely affected by water shortages in the summer if there is no snowfall.
The EU views itself as a leader of the fight against climate change because it has also introduced what is the world's biggest cap-and-trade system, forcing utilities and big polluters to pay for their greenhouse gas emission.
Wednesday's proposal will shape the EU's energy and climate action policies over the coming years and still needs approval from EU governments and the European Parliament.

The E-U's top foreign policy officials, Javier Solana and Chris Patten, are in Kosovo on a two-day visit.
The purpose of their trip is to assess reconstruction efforts and the current political climate in the embattled province.
On Thursday they met with the unofficial president and prime minister of Kosovo.
Ibrahim Rugova may not yet be Kosovo's official president, but he was still the man Javier Solana and Chris Patten wanted to meet on Thursday.
Rugova spoke to reporters after the meeting.
SOUNDBITE: (French)
"I spoke with Mr Solana and Mr Patten about financial investment and moral support for Kosovo."

"We hope they are going to invest and reconstruct Kosovo and I hope that we are going to start to build a new Kosovo."
SUPER CAPTION: Hashim Thaqi, political leader
Both Solana and Patten have been in their new jobs at the E-U for little more than a month.
By visiting Kosovo so soon after their appointments, Patten and Solana are highlighting the E-U's desire to prove itself in the Balkans, after years of criticism that it has neglected the region and misunderstood its problems.

Carla Del Ponte is on her first tour of the Balkans since she succeeded Louise Arbour last month as the chief prosecutor of the Yugoslav war Crimes Tribunal.
As she began her tour in Kosovo she said her top priority is the arrest and trial former Bosnian Serb military commander Ratko Mladic and Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic.
The E-U's top foreign policy officials, Javier Solana and Chris Patten, are also in Kosovo.
Both Solana and Patten have been in their new jobs at the E-U for little more than a month.
Solana, the former NATO Secretary-General is now the E-U's Representative for Foreign and Security Policy and former Hong Kong Governor Chris Patten is the E-U's external relations commissioner.
By visiting Kosovo so soon after their appointments, Patten and Solana are highlighting the E-U's desire to prove itself in the Balkans, after years of criticism that it has neglected the region and misunderstood its problems.
The two men will inspect E-U assistance projects and meet leaders of the local Serb and Albanian communities.
They'll also be spending time with K-FOR commander Klaus Reinhardt and the head of Kosovo's post-war U-N administration, Bernard Kouchner.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Everybody, yes everybody. Everybody from the Albanians and of course we're going to have dinner with Mr Kouchner and his team, the team of the European Commission."
SUPER CAPTION: Javier Solana, EU Representative for Foreign and Security Policy
Patten and Solana have identified Kosovo and the Balkans as priorities in E-U foreign policy.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"To look at the contribution which the European Union has made here in Kosovo and to see how we can do a better job, particularly for example preparing for the winter, but also long-term assistance as well as continuing humanitarian assistance."
SUPER CAPTION: Chris Patten, EU External Relations Commissioner
Carla Del Ponte says she's in the Balkans to focus on public indictments against war criminals.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Tomorrow I will have a press conference and I will tell you what I can tell you then, please tomorrow."
SUPER CAPTION: Carla Del Ponte, Chief Prosecutor, Yugoslav War Crimes Tribunal
Del Ponte plans to travel to Bosnia and Croatia later this week.

English/Nat
The U-S State Department said on Thursday that progress is being made towards getting a mandate from all Albanian parties for negotiations.
Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic today assured European diplomats he had halted a government offensive in Kosovo.
The crisis in the Yugoslavian province has driven thousands of mainly ethnic Albanians from their homes and left many dead.
To get the warring parties around the same table to talk about the conflict has been an uphill battle.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"The problem in the last couple of days has been the climate created by Slobodan Milosevic's Serb forces taking offensive action in Kosovo. And that climate of intimidation as a result of that offensive has made it difficult in the last two days to get some additional things locked in that would have enabled this thing to be put together completely. But we are making substantial progress towards getting what we think is an intention for all the Albanian parties and viewpoints to be reflected and a mandate to be created for negotiations."
SUPER CAPTION: James Rubin, U-S State Department Spokesman
The State Department also criticised the government in Myanmar after opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, was driven back home against her will after a six-day standoff with security forces who refused to let her leave the area.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"The United States condemns in the strongest possible terms the manhandling of Aung San Suu Kyi in Burma on July 30th and the six days of detention and depravation to which she was subjected at the hands of the so-called government there. This callous disregard for her safety, the rule and fundamental freedoms of movement and association are unacceptable violations of her human rights.
SUPER CAPTION: James Rubin, U-S State Department Spokesman
The State Department congratulated Japan's Keizo Obuchi on his election as prime minister but urged Japan to act soon on its economic troubles.
SOUNDBITE (English)
"Their players are known to a certain extent but the policies will have to be formulated for us to be able to react to them. I think we have set out very clearly the kinds of things we would like to see in terms of banking deregulation and other matters but we want to make clear there are broad range of economic challenges that we want them to act on and deal with expeditiously."
SUPER CAPTION: James Rubin, U-S State Department Spokesman
Japan is experiencing an economic recession that could threaten stability in the region and adversely affect western economies.

XFA
The end of a long campaign trail for Kosovo's leading Albanian political figures is drawing to a close.
On October 28th the people of the region will cast their votes in municipal elections, marking the beginning of a process leading to self-administration for the disputed territory.
More than twenty political parties are taking part in the elections, but the electoral campaign has been tightly contested between the three main parties:
The Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), led by Hashim Thaci, the former leader of the Kosovo Liberation Army;
The Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) led by veteran moderate politician Dr. Ibrahim Rugova and the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, led by Ramush Hajredinaj, a flashy former KLA commander with a reputation for brutality.
The latest polls indicate that Kosovo's best-known political figure, Dr. Rugova, the man who led Albanians through a decade of civil disobedience, is heading the race.
As special ballot boxes for the poll arrive from Vienna, the political parties across Kosovo are preparing themselves for elections on Saturday.
Hashim Thaci, the former political master of the Kosovo Liberation Army has been the most visible ethnic Albanian leader since NATO's arrival.
The 32-year-old should benefit from his once close ties to the Americans, who are still seen as Kosovo's biggest supporters.
Thaci has always advocated independence for Kosovo as his ultimate goal, saying that Kosovo has its own identity and will be independent.
Technically, voters will be simply choosing members of local councils in 40 municipalities.
The real issue, however, is not who can best clean up Kosovo, but which party is best equipped to lead the province to independence from Yugoslavia, a goal neither Belgrade nor the United States and its allies support.
The truth is that 2 million ethnic Albanians who make up the overwhelming bulk of the population in Kosovo see their homeland as a place already separate from Yugoslavia, no matter what the diplomats say.
They don't intend to see Yugoslav control ever return again.
Though Milosevic's forces are gone, U.N resolutions leave the future of Kosovo unresolved.
The territory remains under Yugoslav sovereignty, even though it is under U.N. control.
The international solution puts no time frame on how long NATO-led troops would stay to secure the ground, and some have suggested that it should take decades to create the climate in which peace could flourish.
The final status of Kosovo is also a subject dodged by western political leaders and diplomats.
SOUNDBITE:(Albanian)
"The PDK sees the independence of Kosovo as the only solution and as the best solution and I am very confident and I trust my people that I will have the biggest support of the public and the support of the other political parties."
SUPER CAPTION: Hashim Thaci, leader of PDK Democratic Party of Kosovo
Ibrahim Rugova, has been less visible during the campaign trail, relying on his reputation as Kosovo's best-known political figure.
Dr. Rugova led Albanians through a decade of civil disobedience against the oppressive Milosevic regime.
He distanced himself from the armed struggle by the KLA, seeking a solution through peaceful means.
Just days before the municipal elections he was leading in opinion polls.
SOUNDBITE:(Albanian)
"And we, as the LDK, we insist that very soon the international community formally recognise the independence of Kosovo because today we have a de-facto independence. And this will bring stability to this region and Europe."

On October 28th the people of the region will cast their votes in municipal elections, marking the beginning of a process leading to self-administration for the disputed territory.
More than twenty political parties are taking part in the elections, but the electoral campaign has been tightly contested between the three main parties:
The Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), led by Hashim Thaci, the former leader of the Kosovo Liberation Army;
The Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) led by veteran moderate politician Dr. Ibrahim Rugova and the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, led by Ramush Hajredinaj, a flashy former KLA commander with a reputation for brutality.
The latest polls indicate that Kosovo's best-known political figure, Dr. Rugova, the man who led Albanians through a decade of civil disobedience, is heading the race.
As special ballot boxes for the poll arrive from Vienna, the political parties across Kosovo are preparing themselves for elections on Saturday.
Hashim Thaci, the former political master of the Kosovo Liberation Army has been the most visible ethnic Albanian leader since NATO's arrival.
The 32-year-old should benefit from his once close ties to the Americans, who are still seen as Kosovo's biggest supporters.
Thaci has always advocated independence for Kosovo as his ultimate goal, saying that Kosovo has its own identity and will be independent.
Technically, voters will be simply choosing members of local councils in 40 municipalities.
The real issue, however, is not who can best clean up Kosovo, but which party is best equipped to lead the province to independence from Yugoslavia, a goal neither Belgrade nor the United States and its allies support.
The truth is that 2 million ethnic Albanians who make up the overwhelming bulk of the population in Kosovo see their homeland as a place already separate from Yugoslavia, no matter what the diplomats say.
They don't intend to see Yugoslav control ever return again.
Though Milosevic's forces are gone, U.N resolutions leave the future of Kosovo unresolved.
The territory remains under Yugoslav sovereignty, even though it is under U.N. control.
The international solution puts no time frame on how long NATO-led troops would stay to secure the ground, and some have suggested that it should take decades to create the climate in which peace could flourish.
The final status of Kosovo is also a subject dodged by western political leaders and diplomats.
SOUNDBITE:(Albanian)
"The PDK sees the independence of Kosovo as the only solution and as the best solution and I am very confident and I trust my people that I will have the biggest support of the public and the support of the other political parties."
SUPER CAPTION: Hashim Thaci, leader of PDK Democratic Party of Kosovo
Ibrahim Rugova, has been less visible during the campaign trail, relying on his reputation as Kosovo's best-known political figure.
Dr. Rugova led Albanians through a decade of civil disobedience against the oppressive Milosevic regime.
He distanced himself from the armed struggle by the KLA, seeking a solution through peaceful means.
Just days before the municipal elections he was leading in opinion polls.
SOUNDBITE:(Albanian)
"And we, as the LDK, we insist that very soon the international community formally recognise the independence of Kosovo because today we have a de-facto independence. And this will bring stability to this region and Europe."

KOSOVO: PEACEKEEPERS FACING CONTINUING DANGERS

French/Nat
Ethnic Albanian leader Ibrahim Rugova has said he is eager to work with other Albanian leaders in Kosovo and with international peacekeepers in trying to maintain peace and security in the province.
He made the comments in Pristina as peacekeepers there face continuing dangers.
K-FOR officials said a Russian soldier was shot in the shoulder on Thursday by sniper fire outside the town of Gnjilane.
In contrast, Mitrovica was quiet as the bridge which divides its ethnic enclaves was opened by French troops, whose own clashes with ethnic Albanian residents have exacerbated tensions between the ethnic communities.
Also in Pristina for meetings with Rugova and others is Albania's prime minister, who arrived in Kosovo for the first time since the NATO bombing campaign.
In the divided town of Mitrovica, all was quiet despite the clashes in recent weeks.
Lately, it has served as a reminder that Kosovo's ethnic tensions which sparked the NATO bombing campaign still linger.
Barbed wire is strung around the streets, which French peacekeeping soldiers patrol on constant guard.
But on Friday, French soldiers reopened the bridge separating the two ethnic enclaves of the divided town with little incident.
The troops checked the identity papers of those trying to cross.
Mitrovica has become well known as a flashpoint in the postwar period of reconstruction.
Serbs and Kosovar Albanians have clashed sporadically here, and lately conflict has erupted when Albanians have tried to cross into Serb areas against the orders and physical forces put up by French forces.
International peacekeeping officials are grappling with how to better protect their forces from the angry retaliations of residents.
On Thursday, a Russian soldier was reportedly hit by sniper fire just north of the town of Gnjilane.
The same day, German peacekeepers came under machine gunfire during a mine-clearing operation near the southwestern town of Suva Reka.
Political leaders are also struggling with how to better maintain the tenuous peace that has followed the NATO air war.
Ibrahim Rugova, the ethnic Albanian leader, came back to Kosovo two weeks ago following a self-imposed exile in Italy.
At a news conference in Pristina, Rugova sought to reassure international leaders that his party will cooperate with the United Nations as well as with rival ethnic Albanian groups.
He even said those Serbs who once held power in the province will be included in the rebuilding process.
Rugova, who has twice won unofficial presidential elections, told reporters his Democratic League of Kosovo party was prepared to work with Kosovo Liberation Army leader Hashim Thaci.
Thaci, whose support among ethnic Albanians has challenged Rugova's following, has also claimed leadership of the province and claims himself prime minister of a KLA-led administration.
Despite the political wrangling, Rugova sounded a cooperative tone on Friday.
SOUNDBITE: (French)
"The question is - we're going to do all that we can. I think the departure of the Serbs has stopped. I hope that the situation will stabilise even more and also create a more healthy economic climate for the future. The Serbs who were once in control in Kosovo, one will have to work with them, with the Kosovars and with K-FOR."
SUPER CAPTION: Ibrahim Rugova, ethnic Albanian leader
Also in the Kosovo capital on Friday was Albania's prime minister, Pandeli Majko.
It was his first visit to Kosovo since the NATO bombing campaign ended.
Majko is in town for meetings with Rugova, as well as Hashim Thaci.
Majko's visit ends on Saturday.

Eng/Albanian/Nat
K-FORs commander on Monday gave a pledge to stamp out all violence in Kosovo and to guarantee the safety of all ethnic groups in the province.
Lieutenant General Michael Jackson was speaking after the K-L-A gave a pledge to hand over its weapons, effectively ending its existence as a military force.
The pledge was signed by the group's political leader, Hashim Thaci, shortly after midnight, after Serb forces completed their pull out from Kosovo.
In the early hours of Monday morning the next step of bringing peace to Kosovo was taken.
The K-L-A, the group which has been fighting against Serbian rule in Kosovo, signed itself out of existence.
The group's political leader, Hashim Thaci, gave an undertaking the K-L-A would call an immediate ceasefire.
Furthermore it would establish secure NATO-verified weapons storage sites and give up its uniforms.
The K-L-A's role has been a critical issue for postwar Kosovo and its continued existence has caused tens of thousands of Serbs to flee the province over the past week.
The signing was witnessed by British Lieutenant General Michael Jackson, head of alliance forces in Kosovo.
At a press conference after the signing Jackson said he hoped the Serbs would now feel safe enough to return.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Today marks a turning point in K-For's mission. I emphasise once again that we're here to establish a climate of peace and security for all the people of Kosovo. I hope that all, and I would stress that word, all who have left in fear will return and I'm encouraged by movements into Kosovo of refugees of more than one ethnic background. I will repeat what I've said before that K-FOR will be robust but fair, it will be even handed in its dealings with all sections of the community, whatever their background to ensure that we do achieve a safe and secure environment for everybody."
SUPER CAPTION: Lt. General Sir Michael Jackson, K-FOR commander
He added he expected all sections of the K-L-A to abide by the agreement.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"They have made an undertaking, they've given it to me and I have received it, it's as simple as that, they must now, and I'm sure they will, uphold what they've undertaken to do."
SUPER CAPTION: Lt. General Sir Michael Jackson, K-FOR commander
Despite the undertaking armed K-L-A fighters were still very much in evidence on the streets of the western city of Pec on Monday morning.
As Yugoslav troops have withdrawn from Kosovo, the K-L-A have become increasingly bold, putting armed fighters on city streets and country roads throughout the province.
But their commander said his forces would abide by their leaders' pledge.
SOUNDBITE: (Albanian)
"We will respect all orders that are issued by our high command."
SUPER CAPTION: Commander Qeku, KLA
It remains to be seen whether all of the K-L-A's fighters will voluntarily give up their guns.

K-FOR's commander has pledged to stamp out all violence in Kosovo and to guarantee the safety of all ethnic groups living in the province.
Lieutenant General Michael Jackson was speaking after the K-L-A promised to hand over its weapons, effectively ending its existence as a military force.
The deal reached between NATO and the Kosovo Liberation Army, was signed in the early hours of Monday morning, after Serb forces completed their pull out from Kosovo.

K-L-A commanders may have agreed to lay down their arms, but some of their fighters could prove difficult to convince.
On Sunday, in an area north of the town of Glogovac, British K-FOR troops met with resistance from K-L-A soldiers on Sunday.
For the Kosovars, handing over their arms is a painful task.
Many hid their weapons before British troops arrived, despite telling them they'd already handed them in.

English/Nat
President Clinton has described the withdrawal of Serb military and police units from Kosovo as "a hopeful moment" for the troubled province.
But he warned Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic that the pullout would not be taken as a guarantee of a peaceful settlement with ethnic Albanians.
Meanwhile, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright pledged the U-S would continue to scrutinise the actions of the Serb regime in Kosovo.
Once again foreign policy in the Clinton administration has a high profile.
Having negotiated a landmark Middle East peace accord last week, the United States is now at the forefront of establishing peace in Kosovo.
President Clinton's first reaction to the NATO announcement that it would not immediately bomb Serbs in Kosovo was praise for the organisation's non-violent peacekeeping effort.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"I'm very encouraged that NATO's persistence and resolve have compelled President Milosevic to pull back his forces and comply very substantially with the demands of the international community. Hopefully now the climate of fear and intimidation can be lifted and Kosovar Albanians can return to their villages. And more importantly over the long run that negotiations towards a durable and peaceful resolution can move forward."
SUPERCAPTION: Bill Clinton, U-S President
But continuing reports of skirmishes between Serb and ethnic Albanian factions and anecdotal evidence of atrocities are threatening to undermine NATO's threats.
So Clinton had a firm warning for Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic - NATO is still ready to launch punitive air strikes if peace is not restored to the region.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"NATO's willingness to act, combined with determined diplomacy, created this chance to end the suffering and repression in Kosovo and to put its people on the path to peace. But this is a chance, not a guarantee. That is why NATO today agreed to retain the authority, the forces and the readiness to act if Mister Milosevic backslides on his commitments. We are at a hopeful moment. But we should be under no illusion - there is still a lot of hard road to walk before triumph, excuse me, before hope can triumph over hatred in the Balkans."
SUPER CAPTION: Bill Clinton, U-S President
Earlier on Tuesday, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright underlined NATO's resolve to prevent Serb troops returning to the province.
However, she didn't set a further deadline for air attacks on Serb military targets, despite a history of broken pledges from the Yugoslav leader.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"We must consider Milosevic's track record, his long-standing unwillingness to negotiate seriously, and the accumulated barbarity of the past months. Time and again Milosevic has taken half steps to avoid the consequences of his actions. We are not interested in further promises, only in continued compliance. We assume that Milosevic will act responsibly only when all the other alternatives have been exhausted. That is why we are maintaining the threat of force and not letting down our guard."
SUPER CAPTION: Madeleine Albright, U.S. Secretary of State
Progress will continue to be monitored by NATO warplanes, while on the ground, the alliance is planning a rapid-reaction force based in Macedonia.
This will ensure NATO forces are ready to strike at a moment's notice.
Albright admitted international pressure had had some effect on the humanitarian crisis in Kosovo.
But she stressed there was still a long way to go before that crisis is resolved.

Eng/French/Nat
British Tornado bombers were redeployed from Germany to the Mediterranean island of Corsica on Saturday, in a move aimed at halving the time it takes to carry out air strikes against Serbia.
The Tornados arrived at the French airbase of Solenzara, which from Tuesday will become NATO's newest forward post for launching bombing raids.
The first wave of Tornado bombers flew into Corsica on Saturday, the six planes flying in formation as they screamed low over the airbase prior to landing.
A total of twelve Tornados are being redeployed from Brueggen in Germany.
The reason is simple. From Brueggen it's a seven-hour round trip to bomb Belgrade - from Corsica it's barely half the time.
And there's another factor - the Mediterranean climate makes it less likely that bombing raids will have to be called off because of bad weather:
SOUNDBITE: (English): The length of the sortie will be decreased, which will make a significant difference because it means we can do more sorties if required. And it's less painful for us because we can do the sortie in a shorter space of time, so it makes us more efficient. The weather factor here is much better, so the chance of having any problems with the local weather, as you can see from above, is slim. So it gives us every chance of success.
SUPERCAPTION: Wing Cdr Greg Bagwell, Tornado pilot
Each Tornado is capable of carrying a range of cluster and laser-guided bombs, together with air-to-air missiles. The redeployment marks a new phase in NATO's efforts to force Serb troops out of Kosovo.
SOUNDBITE: (English): What it will allow us to do is have much more capability available for Nato, should they demand it. Clearly we're closer, which cuts down the time to target, and that gives the potential to increase the operational tempo. The weather factor is much better here, and if the weather factor is good in the potential target areas, then we should see a much more efficient operation of the Tornados than we were able to do from Brueggen.
CAPTION: Group Capt Jerry Witts, commander of British detachment
This is the first time that British bombers have been deployed to a French airbase. NATO sees this as evidence of growing cooperation among the allies' military forces. The commander of Solenzara hopes the move will help persuade Slobodan Milosevic to back down and withdraw from Kosovo:
SOUNDBITE: (French)
I hope, without a doubt, that the effectiveness of the Tornados will be boosted. This should have an impact as far as the deterrent aspects of the operation are concerned. And that has to be a good thing.
CAPTION: Colonel Christian van Duynslager, airbase commander
The French air force has used Solenzara solely for reconnaissance missions over the Balkans, but now that it's to be used for bombing raids, Corsica looks set to become an important new centre in the air battle for the future of Kosovo.

wn.com/Italy Corsica Kosovo Tornado Bombers Arrive From Germany
Eng/French/Nat
British Tornado bombers were redeployed from Germany to the Mediterranean island of Corsica on Saturday, in a move aimed at halving the time it takes to carry out air strikes against Serbia.
The Tornados arrived at the French airbase of Solenzara, which from Tuesday will become NATO's newest forward post for launching bombing raids.
The first wave of Tornado bombers flew into Corsica on Saturday, the six planes flying in formation as they screamed low over the airbase prior to landing.
A total of twelve Tornados are being redeployed from Brueggen in Germany.
The reason is simple. From Brueggen it's a seven-hour round trip to bomb Belgrade - from Corsica it's barely half the time.
And there's another factor - the Mediterranean climate makes it less likely that bombing raids will have to be called off because of bad weather:

Natural Sound
Ethnic Albanians are on the rampage in Pec and other parts of Kosovo, with the looting of shops now becoming widespread.
There was growing tension in the region as Serb troops accelerated their pullout from Kosovo, well ahead of their Sunday midnight deadline.
Meanwhile, peacekeepers met with ethnic Albanian rebels in an attempt to prevent them from embarking on a new reign of terror to fill the vacuum left by the retreating Serbs.
But the climate of violence remains, following the killing of three Serbs near Pec on Saturday.
Ethnic Albanians looted various state shops in Pec, most getting their hands on anything they could.
K-L-A forces appeared to make moves to stop the looters and restore order, but for the moment Pec remains largely uncontrolled.
The scenes are anything but welcoming for Serb civilians who continue fleeing Kosovo in droves, fearing ethnic Albanian retaliation.
Several thousand people in tractors, cars and trucks on Saturday jamming the road across the border from Kosovo between Raska and Usce, 150 miles south of Belgrade, despite efforts by the Yugoslav government to stem the exodus.
Ethnic Albanians are not just taking part in looting in Pec, some are said to be burning Serb houses.
On Sunday in another part of Pec, members of the Serb Orthodox Church held a service for three Serb men killed on Saturday night following an argument with members of the K-L-A, although this cannot be independently verified.
Each of the three was killed with a shot to the forehead, in the village of Belo Polje near Pec.
Near Gnjilane, where U-S peacekeepers have their headquarters, Marines arrested a Serb for allegedly killing one man and wounding two others in a sniper attack.

In the Netherlands we worry about our climate becoming less moderate. At the same time, military engineers build bases in remote areas with extreme climate conditions, like the sweltering heat in Mali.
Major Jasper Kremers (1978) believes this experience can also be useful at home. Combining civilian engineering and military approaches may generate new ideas for making our cities more resilient.

Major Jasper Kremers (1978) believes this experience can also be useful at home. Combining civilian engineering and military approaches may generate new ideas for making our cities more resilient. Major Jasper Kremers is a company commander by the Dutch engineering battalion, based at Prinses Margriet military barracks, nearby Wezep. Jasper also commanded the first Royal Netherlands Army's unit that deployed in Mali last year to prepare and construct a base for the other units that were to follow. Jasper holds a degree in civil engineering and has military experience from missions in Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan and the 2013 flooding of the German river Elbe.

Kosovo Travel Video - Everyone loves a newborn, and since 2008, when Kosovo declared independence, large letters spelling NEWBORN have graced a section of pavement in Pristina. The location, between the secure offices of the UN and a shopping mall featuring ubiquitous European clothing stores and a skyclawing crumbling concrete monument, tells it all. Kosovo is finding its feet. Staff from international organisations glam up Pristinas restaurants, cafes and bars, as do talented Kosovars who are taking their seats for the ride forward.
Barbs of its past are impossible to miss: roads are dotted with memorials featuring etchings of those killed in 1999. Kosovos modern architectural standouts may stand out for all the wrong reasons, but what the rebuilt country lacks in style, it makes up for with its mountain-backed towns, hiking opportunities and 13th-century Serbian monasteries, all no more than a couple of hours drive from its capital.

In Chapter 1 of 16 in his 2014 Capture Your Flag interview, Internet entrepreneur Anatole Faykin answers "What Travel Adventures Have You Had This Past Year and What Did You Learn From Them?" Faykin shares a travel story from a trip to Macedonia that led him to Kosovo then Serbia. After entering Kosovo and traveling toward Belgrade, Faykin is stopped at a checkpoint and turned back because he did not have a Serbian passport stamp. Faykin endures a cold night on the border before returning to Macedonia to get a stamp for his Belgrade trip. The trip teaches him that travel preparation research is always a good thing to do. Anatole Faykin is an Internet entrepreneur and digital marketer exploring new career options. A passionate world traveler and problem solver, Faykin plans to return to graduate school to earn a biosciences masters degree. Previously, Faykin has started multiple companies, including Tuanpin, a Shanghai startup he sold in 2011. He holds an MBA from NYU and a BS in computer science and biology from the California Institute of Technology.

The Republic of Kosovo is situated in southeastern Europe. It is a self-declared independent state and has de facto control over most of the territory, while North Kosovo, the largest Kosovo Serb enclave, is under the control of institutions of the Republic of Serbia. The long-term severe ethnic tensions between Kosovo's ethnic Albanian and Serb populations are still the number one issue in the region and who knows when will be settled?
