The western Balkans remain at risk of becoming failed states. An objective analysis of the situation in the western Balkans combined with the analysis of EUCOM's Theater Cooperation Strategy Plan (TSCP) shows that EUCOM has done a commendable job in progressing toward the desired end state of stability in the Balkans. That being said, there is significant room for improvement, especially in the arenas of information operations and strategic communications.

Economic Aspects

Books

EU Visas and the Western Balkans. Brussels, International Crisis Group, 2005. 22 p. (Europe report, no. 168)
The EU’s present visa regime with the countries of the Western Balkans is fostering resentment, inhibiting progress on trade, business, education and more open civil societies, and as a result contributing negatively to regional stability. Full visa liberalisation for all will probably have to wait until the Balkan states are much closer to EU membership. But selective liberalisation for certain identified groups, and visa facilitation for all applicants would go a long way toward showing governments and citizens alike that reforms do pay off.

Analyzes the security cultures of Germany and the United States as they evolved under the impact of the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina from 1992 to 1995, and argues that the option of forceful and effective intervention in European affairs was at the outset simply not imagined by the George H. W. Bush administration. The security culture of the United States began to shift from abstention in the early 1990s to a more effective and intensive intervention in European affairs.

Available online at: http://handle.dtic.mil/100.2/ADA471706
In the Balkan Peninsula, the overlapping demands of religion, ethnic loyalties, and power-politics are ongoing challenges to any military operation in the region. Author examines the participants of the Balkan War I, Balkan War II, World War I, and World War II, notes the causes of each war, and describes the results.

The Bosnian War is an example of a regional separation using a separation zone, while the city of Mitrovica in Kosovo is an example of a divided city. Situations where rival populations are intermingled, either regionally or locally, lend themselves to the establishment of protected areas. The United Nations safe areas in the Bosnian War are regional examples of protected areas, while the Baghdad "gated communities" established by Multi-National Corps-Iraq are local examples.

John Keegan described the Kosovo conflict as a turning point in the history of warfare because it proved that war could indeed be won by air power alone. This article disagrees and states that aerial bombardment may well have brought about Milosevic's capitulation, however, the circumstances were rare though it had happened before in the Boer War.

Research staff at NDU evaluates the argument that Kosovo's situation represents a precedent for separatists elsewhere by comparing it to the four regions in the Former Soviet Union most often cited in relation to it: Abkhazia and South Ossetia in Georgia, Transdniestria in Moldova, and Nagorno-Karabakh in Azerbaijan. Four key conclusions are drawn, identifying differences between Kosovo and the other case studies.

Franks, Jason and Richmond, Oliver P. Co-opting Liberal Peace-Building: Untying the Gordian Knot in Kosovo. Cooperation and Conflict 43:81-103 March 2008.
Given Serb opposition to statehood for Kosovo, there is a danger that liberal peace-building will encourage the partition of Kosovo rather than create a pluralist polity. The article illustrates the susceptibility of liberal peace-building to local cooption.

Heinemann-Gruder, Andreas. Security Governance by Internationals: The Case of Kosovo. International Peacekeeping 13:43-59 March 2006.
Analyzes the achievements and shortcomings of the international community in coping with the security situation in Kosovo and contends that UNMIK and KFOR have made a substantial contribution to the establishment of a home-grown security apparatus. The Kosovo Police Service and to a lesser degree the Kosovo Protection Corps have become professional agencies. Kosovo demonstrates the need for police forces specially trained for international operations.

A comparison of the content of this view to the Russian elite and popular response to the 1999 Kosovo crisis shows how particularly pernicious historical ideas influenced a number of serious misperceptions about Balkan realities and Western motives in 1999."

Belgrade’s efforts to create a de facto partitioning of the north of Kosovo threaten the new state’s territorial integrity and challenge deployment of European Union missions there. Serbian parliamentary and local elections are unlikely to change the basic policy towards the new state, even in the unlikely event a pro-Western government comes to power. They may, however, give Serbia’s nationalist parties new leverage.

Available online at: http://handle.dtic.mil/100.2/ADA480135
Explores Serbia’s relationship with NATO, focusing on two questions: how can Serbia and NATO benefit from the Partnership for Peace program? How can Serbia identify its needs for assistance as a consumer of security and also actively contribute to regional security under the overarching PfP program? Serbia’s main problems include: (1) weak civilian control of the military and intelligence services, (2) inadequate legal basis and appropriate legislation for effective leadership to transform the military and intelligence services, and (3) a deeply troubled heritage stemming from the period when Milosevic was in power.
