built 118 days ago
Copies and analysis of the various drafts of the Rambouillet Accords on the future of Kosovo that were the subject of intensive negotiations in France in February and March 1999, but were never signed by all parties. The breakdown in these negotiations led directly to the present conflict.
[Flag of Kosovo] A TV report from a press conference organized on 22 March 2004 by different international organizations shows that the international military forces in Kosovo (KFOR) use a distinctive flag. The flag is similar to the flags used by SFOR and previously IFOR in Bosnia-Herzegovine, but this one is inscribed KFOR (bothin Cyrillic and Latin, as on all of these). The flag is dark (NATO) blue with a shield divided vertically in white and blue, each half inscribed counterchanged in vertical line, dexter in Latin (KFOR) and sinister in Cyrillic (КФОР). The shield is set between two NATO emblems.
