ICG SOUTH BALKANS
------------------------

ICG's latest Kosovo Briefing (April 2) looks at the refugee crisis in
Albania, where over 120,000 Kosovars have fled since the start of the NATO
airstrikes, out of a total of 550,000 people (roughly one quarter of
Kosovo's pre-conflict population) who have been forced to abandon their
homes. The report offers some initial recommendations aimed at assisting
these refugees, and suggests that a primary objective of the current
offensive in Kosovo is to remove ethnic Albanians from the whole of
northern and western Kosovo to allow Milosevic to present the world with a
fait accompli regarding the partition of the province.
