...building, near the village of Kosare, was once an isolated Serbian army barrack. Now it is the first outpost of the rebel Kosovo Liberation Army as it tries to fight its way into the province. The army has a long way to go. NATO bombing has pushed Serbian armor and artillery back two miles, but ahead of the K.L.A. lies the rolling grassland known to the Serbs as Metohija. The flatlands there are tank territory, and with no armor of their own, the lightly armed rebels cannot take and hold it. Kosare, though, is a strategic high ground...

It helps that when they took the barrack, the K.L.A. captured stores of ammunition, light and heavy mortars and Austrian-made trucks.

...Wars is just a big sci-fi film. That our films are not like The Exorcist, The Godfather and the great films of the '70s. Well, they were B movies too. And Gone With the Wind was just a soap opera." Lucas thinks of himself as a Marin County rebel against the Hollywood empire, in a cadre of Bay Area filmmakers that includes Francis Coppola, Philip Kaufman and such visionary avant-guardians of the '60s as Bruce Conner, Will Hindle and Scott Bartlett (his shorts Offon and Metanomen ushered in the digital...
...week hundreds of fighters attacked and captured a small, six-hut Serbian border post at Kosare and swept through a nearby Serbian army barracks. The goal, commanders said, was to reach as many as 20,000 refugees stranded near the border and create a bridgehead that would allow the rebel army to set up bases inside Kosovo. But the bloody victory was a reminder that, Western hopes notwithstanding, the K.L.A. is still woefully short of experience...
