Abstract
On June 11, 1999 NATO led the KFOR forces into the Kosovo province while the Yugoslav army was pulling out. The Kosovo War had ended, and a new stage of Western involvement began in a region which had been rather neglected over many years although the European Union (EU) and the United States (US) had become involved in Bosnia-Herzegovina with the establishment of the 1995 Dayton Agreement between the country and Croatia and Yugoslavia. Western governments and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) quickly brought humanitarian aid to the Kosovo region and established a new administration under the umbrella of the United Nations (UN), the so-called UNMIK (UN Mission in Kosovo).
