Dear All,

Please find below links to a selection of articles published by TransConflict throughout December.

- Kosovo - partitioning what from what? - by Gerard Gallucci - Though partition is far from the best way to resolve the Kosovo question, it is a political option for Kosovo as part of a final status resolution and has been used by one side already (also available in Serbian).

- NATO and Serbia - black and white world - by Mirjana Kosic - Should we want to talk about these unpleasant and painful topics, let’s be professional and responsible enough to present all the facts (also available in Serbian).

- Reflexions on working in Bosnia and Herzegovina - by Reverend Donald Reeves - Nine years of working in Bosnia and Herzegovina with the Soul of Europe has taught a number of important lessons about the need for a coherent and integrated framework for peace-building, including greater attentiveness towards religious and business issues

- Macedonia - is the name issue close to an end? - by Luca Roberto Foti - A Greek veto at the upcoming EU council meeting threatens to further fuel growing animosity in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
