Kosovo, 1999
	With the withdrawal of Serb forces from Kosovo, and the end of the NATO offensive in June, the Kosovar refugees rapidly returned from the camps in Macedonia and Albania. The majority of the refugees evacuated to third countries also returned as repatriation flights could be organised. Many of the refugees returned to find their homes destroyed and belongings looted, and the discovery of massacre sites compounded the distress of the returning refugees. Many Kosovo Serb civilians, fearful of NATO and reprisals from the Albanian community, themselves became refugees and departed for Serbia.  Since the end of the war there have been frequent reprisals against the Serb communities which have remained and against the Roma who were believed by many Kosovar Albanians to have collaborated with Serb paramilitaries during the war.	Kosovar Albanian refugees depart on a repatriation flight from the UK to Kosovo at the end of the war. East Midlands Airport, UK. 1999 KFOR has found itself protecting these communities, whilst struggling to establish a stability where reconciliation between the embittered communities could commence.
