Among the younger refugees, it's one of the most popular spots on the base and teenagers and twenty-somethings crowd before the monitors, intently watching news broadcasts about a possible end to the war in Yugoslavia. When the initial peace plan was announced, word quickly spread from the trailer throughout the base but instead of joy, the news was met with skepticism.

The Kosovar refugees have watched Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic make and break promises over and over and didn't expect this latest agreement to be any different from the others. Not until Serb forces are entirely removed from Kosovo and NATO troops are escorting them back home will they believe a lasting peace has been achieved. As they feared, the initial peace plan failed when Milosevic raised last-minute objections pertaining to the timing of a Yugoslav military pull out. But recent developments indicate that another agreement could be reached. The U.N. Security Council is working on a draft resolution to end the crisis and Milosevic has reaffirmed that he remains commited to the plan he accepted last week.
