Bolshaya Igra and Malaya Igra

For the first time in my career as a journalist, I felt that I
was a pawn in a much bigger and more sinister game.
Nato was passing the buck to us.

We had failed to impose our will on our Serb hosts. But
what of the Serbs themselves? Had they really pulled the
wool over our eyes?

The fact of the matter is that Kosovo is a complicated
place. Things are not as black and white as the horror
stories from the refugee camps in Albania and
Macedonia would suggest.

Yes, there has been ethnic cleansing. The hundreds of
burnt out houses across the rolling Kosovo countryside
are ample proof of that.

But other refugees have been able to stay and are even
receiving new identity documents from the Serb
authorities. Some say they feel safe here, at least for the
time being. Ironically, Nato and its seemingly arbitrary
attacks could now present the bigger danger to the
Kosovo Albanians.
