Before there was Iraq II (its own little piece of history), there were the conflicts in the countries of the "ex-Yugoslavia." Now Kosovo is exploding again, and it seems as if all the media and the pundits can do is rehash the old stories while new bodies pile up. Here is a place where we will attempt to give you a sense of the bigger picture.

By Douglas Hamilton BELGRADE, Feb 12 (Reuters) - Serbia intends to declare Kosovo's proclamation of independence annulled in advance as an illegal act by "terrorists" to set up a fictitious state, Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica said on Tuesday. Its annulment will be the centrepiece of a "Thursday of rejection" ahead of Kosovo's independence declaration on Sunday. "We have made a decision that the Serbian government will on Thursday, in advance, annul all acts that are against the law which concern a unilateral proclamation of the independence of this fictitious state on Serbian territory," he said. "We shall not allow such a creation to exist for a minute. It has to be legally annulled the moment it is illegally proclaimed by a leadership of convicted terrorists."
