A gentleman among thieves

Article Abstract:

European Commission President-elect Romano Prodi has attracted rather mixed views. Some observers see him as being unpretentious and accommodating, while others feel that he is a rather inadequate political operator, more able to dream up ideas than to put them into practice. Many questions will be raised about his political abilities as he takes up one of the most important political offices in Europe. He managed to survive two years and five months as Italian Prime Minister, but most people feel that this was more due to luck than to true tactical ability.

Albanians get ready for a war they dread

Article Abstract:

Albanians living in Kosovo, Serbia, are gradually becoming accustomed to the idea that they may soon be involved in armed conflict with Serbian forces. Communications between Serbs and Albanians in Kosovo have been deteriorating for some time, and young Albanians are growing up with the view that war will eventually be inevitable. However, few Albanians are planning to flee Kosovo. Indeed, many Kosovo Albanians living in other countries are considering returning there to help their families in their time of need.
