I left Kosovo in October 2008 with some encouragement from the UNMIK leadership and DPKO. (I transferred to UNMIT in East Timor as chief of staff.) But I continued to follow events in Kosovo, contributing pieces to TransConflict, and had visited northern Kosovo in June, 2011. I can't quite remember how the invitation came up to testify in November to the US Congress on Kosovo but I did. Here follows the text of my comments to the Subcommittee on Europe and
Eurasia, Committee on Foreign Affairs, US House of Representative. (Note: The Quint refers to the Contact Group on Kosovo -- the US, UK, France, Germany, Italy and Russia -- without Russia, which opposed Kosovo independence. EULEX is the EU's rule of law entity in Kosovo and its police.)
