So we are trying to organize the operation from within." A few key officials who escaped in the first days of the war have been shuttling around Europe, raising money and working to keep NATO's interests aligned with their own. Some prominent Kosovar leaders, such as K.L.A. chief Hashim Thaci, are in and out of Kosovo. Others, however, are missing. Polyglot publisher Surroi, with friends both inside...
