Description

This book makes the case for the independence of Kosova - the former province of 'old-Yugoslavia' and now temporarily a United Nations-led International protectorate - at a time in which international diplomacy is deeply involved in solving the contested issue of its 'Final Status'. The aim of the book is to counteract the anti-Albanian propaganda waged by some parties, but never to propose a counter-propaganda hostile to others or to the goals of a democratic Kosova.
