The NAEC has the pleasure to invite you to the release of the book “Coercitive Diplomacy of NATO in Kosovo”. edited by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. The author, Dr. Bytyci is currently the Executive Director of the Southeast European Studies Institute in Tirana.(www.ises.org.al) He is also professor at the “Aleksandër Moisiu” University in Durrës, Albania.
This book presents a detailed and comprehensive examination of the developments of NATO’s engagement in Kosovo, and the related policies of western countries. It offers an in-depth analysis of the historical developments in the relations between Albanians and Serbs. Moreover, the book provides a constructive discussion of the events of the Kosovo conflict, which constituted one of the main concerns in the international agenda towards the end of the 20th century.
The main theme set forth in this publication is the reasoning behind NATO’s intervention in Kosovo during the spring of 1999; namely to end the conflict between Albanians and Serbs and to lead Kosovo Albanians towards the achievement of their freedom from the jurisdiction of the Serbian state. Based on extensive evidence, the author analyses the contradicting stances conveyed at the Security Council regarding the conflict, NATO’s military intervention and the issue of Kosovo’s future.
Besides, Dr.Enver Bytyci also published several monographs in Albanian, this book being his first publication in English. Aside from his scientific studies in the fields of sociology and history of international relations, Dr. Enver Bytyci is known for his expertise on the development of Southeastern Europe and is a prominent publicist in the Albanian media.
We will be pleased to invite you to a cocktail after the presentation.
