Balkan Witness presents in-person reports, histories,
and commentaries on the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia. We sincerely hope that
this first-hand perspective will give us the information we need to understand events in
Kosovo in their historical context.
Our present focus is on countering the
disinformation being spread in support of enduring Serbian denial of war
crimes. This denial is propagated not only within Serbia but outside as
well. See War-crimes
Deniers.
