"Now is the time to begin to reflect on what actually happened this spring in Kosovo and, thus, to the world. I believe that historians will agree that from March 24, 1999 international politics and relations as well as the global system has changed in a deep sense," says TFF director Jan Oberg. "Many consider NATO's intervention a moral success, a just war, a victory for democratic values.
But I believe we need to look at it from a variety of angles to a) understand it more deeply and b) to work out ideas, concepts and policies so that anything similar will never happen again elsewhere.

Ko je kriv a ko je prav zavisice, nazalost, od boje naocara i dioptrije koju posmatrac nosi al' to je tome tako uvek bilo... Kome se "moze" taj ce i da uradi a kome se "ne moze" taj bolje neka se skloni u neku rupu i smrdi...
