The American Council for Kosovo,
Christian Solidarity International, and
Religious Freedom Coalition
invite you to a one-day conference
RECONSIDERING KOSOVO
Thursday, September 28, 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM
CAPITOL HILL CLUB (Eisenhower Lounge)
300 First Street SE, Washington D.C. 20003
(Arrival and registration beginning at 8:00 AM)
One of the most serious but overlooked security issues
facing the United States today is the future of the Serbian province
of Kosovo and Metohija. Since 1999, Kosovo has been under United
Nations administration and NATO military control, with hundreds of
U.S. troops still stationed there. Today the question is: should
Kosovo remain a part of Serbia or -- as many believe -- should it be
detached from Serbia as an independent state?
Among the issues to be examined:
* Kosovo report card -- Europe's "Black Hole"?
* Organized crime, jihadism, and Kosovo's impact on the War on Terror
* Human rights and religious freedom in an independent "KosovA"
* Kosovo's future status: impact on
- regional stability,
- international law, and
- other disputed regions.
