Description

In 1998 and 1999, the United States and its NATO allies attempted to put an end
to escalating violence between ethnic Albanian guerrillas and Yugoslav/Serb forces
in Yugoslavia’s Kosovo province. These efforts culminated in a 78-day NATO
bombing campaign (Operation Allied Force) against Serbia from March until June
1999, when then-Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic agreed to withdraw his forces
from the province. Since then, Kosovo has been governed by a combination of the U.N.
and local Kosovar governing structures. The U.N. Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK),
under the terms of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1244, retains ultimate political
authority in the province. A NATO-led peacekeeping force, KFOR, is charged with
providing a secure environment. In May 2001, UNMIK issued a “Constitutional
Framework” for Kosovo that provided for an elected provisional legislature and
government with limited powers but did not address Kosovo’s final status.
