Kosovo: Can Negotiations Succeed?

Speakers discussed key issues that emerged during a recent USIP training workshop on negotiation and conflict resolution skills with a delegation of Kosovar Albanians. Some of the issues addressed included:

• The need for Kosovars to consider options other than military force.
• The need for leaders to seek creative ideas for negotiating the status of Kosovo.
• The need for an informal Serb/Albanian dialogue, apart from official negotiations.

Presentations were followed by questions and comments from the floor.
