First sentence: On 8 June 2000, as the war between the NATO alliance and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was concluding, the cover page of the Belgrade weekly NIN featured a blue-helmeted UN soldier (apparently from an African country) on guard duty in front of the fourteenth-century Byzantine church of Gracanica near the Kosovo battlefield of 1989.
