i know precious little about what's going on in the former yugoslavia -- except that i learned that there are apparently serbian ex-military employed by blackwater, some of whom might be linked to war atrocities, i was a bit startled to hear that -- but i think of sierra leone... totally different region, yes, but recently torn apart by war and spending long years under UN occupation and recently had elections... which i gather were tense but occurred mostly without bloodshed. i dunno, that probably has nothing to do with this.
with russia wrestling with the chechens are they really going to have a lot of resources to aid the serbs? did they do so in the 90s? i wouldn't know.
