[from Sam Smith's Progressive Review]

WORD

"Even in Kosovo an explicit political persecution linked to Albanian ethnicity is not verifiable." -- Intelligence report from the Foreign Office, January 12, 1999 to the Administrative Court of Trier

"The various reports presented to the senate all agree that the often feared humanitarian catastrophe threatening the Albanian civil population has been averted. ... This appears to be the case since the winding down of combat in connection with an agreement made with the Serbian leadership at the end of 1998" -- Opinion of the Administrative Court of Baden-Württemberg, February 4, 1999

"There is no sufficient actual proof of a secret program, or an unspoken consensus on the Serbian side, to liquidate the Albanian people, to drive it out or otherwise to persecute it in the extreme manner presently described." -- Opinion of the Upper Administrative Court at Münster, February 24, 1999.

"Ethnic Albanians in Kosovo have neither been nor are now exposed to regional or countrywide group persecution in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia." -- Opinion of the Upper Administrative Court at Münster, March 11, 1999
