ÇABËR, Kosovo — When the people of this village in northern Kosovo returned to homes flattened by Serbian forces in the 1998-1999 war, they hoped to rebuild and live in safety for generations to come.
Now they fear they could be forced to leave again, under proposals to change borders as part of a permanent peace settlement between Kosovo and Serbia.
Kosovo President Hashim Thaçi and Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić have presented the idea as a way to end their long-running frozen conflict and clear a path for both to eventually become members of the European Union. But the idea has many critics, who argue it would destabilize the Balkans by emboldening others to push for border changes. They see a risk of a return to the ethnically motivated violence that devastated the region in the 1990s.’
