Contents Summary
This broadcast features a discussion of the growing tension along Macedonia's border in Kosovo. A brief overview of the situation in Kosovo is provided by Charles Kraus using footage of country and city life in Kosovo, explaining fears that an outbreak of war could spread to Macedonia and beyond. Robert MacNeil talks with U.S. government officials about the prospect of the war spilling into Macedonia and its neighbors, Albania, Bulgaria, Serbia, and two U.S. NATO allies, Greece and Turkey. At the time of the report, U.S. troops had recently been placed in Macedonia to deter further aggression and the spread of war in the Balkans. The tactical importance of the troop placement is debated by the guests, as well as the related political implications.
