| Summary/Abstract |
As the possibility of an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities continues to loom over the strategic horizon, despite continued claims by the US that sanctions are weakening the mullahs' regime, there is increased speculation among security analysts about collateral damage from such an action. One scenario in particular that has caused concern involves a counterstrike by Iran or its allies such as Hezbollah against targets outside the Middle East. In this regard, when a suspected Hezbollah suicide bomber killed six Israeli tourists in Burgas, Bulgaria, in July, it confirmed that the Balkans were a potential front for terrorism in any future conflict.

| Summary/Abstract |
A specter is haunting Europe-fear of the impact hundreds of European volunteers to the Syrian jihad might have on their home countries once they return. Perhaps nowhere is the potential danger of this Syrian blowback greater than in the Balkans. According to one estimate, Bosnia has provided more volunteers per capita for the Syrian jihad than any other country in Europe, and various reports suggest there are probably more than five hundred jihadis from southeastern Europe now in Syria.

| Summary/Abstract |
The support of the United States and some European Union countries for Kosovo's unilateral declaration of independence has in many ways contributed to a deterioration of the security situation in southeastern Europe. The fundamental strategic assumption of promoters of Kosovo's independence-that Kosovo was the last open question left over from the breakup of Yugoslavia-is likely to prove wrong. Thus, given the breakdown in the international and regional consensus on the contours of a legitimate Balkan political and security order, the instability of Kosovo and other states in the region is in reality likely to increase in the post-Kosovo independence period.

| Summary/Abstract |
Frederik Harhoff, a justice at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY), recently charged that the American presiding judge at the tribunal pressured his colleagues to overturn decisions related to war crimes-cases in Croatia and Serbia. Harhoff's allegations subsequently triggered a number of similar accusations of political interference by tribunal insiders and observers. All of this reinforced what many observers have claimed throughout the ICTY's twenty-year existence-that to unacceptable degrees, the tribunal's work is determined not by impartial standards of justice, but by the great powers' political interests.
