New State, Modern Statesman - Suzy Jagger

Less than twenty years ago, a young, ethnic Albanian student leader calledHashim Thai led a revolution against Slobodan Milosevic. During a period whenWestern military engagement unleashed violent sectarianism, global terrorism,and became a catalyst for the biggest exodus of migrants since the Second WorldWar, the 1999 NATO intervention in Kosovo remains a unique example of a processthat led to a peaceful transition from vicious ethnic war to modern democracy.Thai is now President of Europe's youngest country.
