(E) Bosnia work session in Washington, D.C. Apr 11
Here is an event sponsored by the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) in Washington, D.C., called "Can the Next High Representative Fix Bosnia?" Date: Thursday April 11, 2002 Time: 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM Where: USIP Offices 1200 17th Street NW, Suite 200 Washington D.C. 20036 Telephone: 202-457-1700 Fax: 202-429-6063 RSVP to Matthew Crane by e-mail at mcrane@usip.org I think the USIP tries to promote democrocacy in Southeastern Europe, however, the overwhelming majority, if not all, of its attention and effort is focused on Serbia. Daniel Serwer, director of the Institute's so-called Balkans Initiative, appears throughout the recently telivised PBS documentary titled "Bringing Down a Dictator," about the movement in Serbia called Otpor that was inolved in bringing down Milosevic.
