It hurts, and it's bound to make some people angry, but it will eventually end with some sort of closure. Not, of course, for the killers and their acomplices, but for the victims of Srebrenica and other places of horror...
...govern itself, sustain itself and defend itself." A year after the handover of sovereignty, none of those conditions are close to being met. The government has been promising an improved power supply but has failed to deliver. It fingers insurgents for blowing up water pipelines but seems unable to repair the damage.
