Can someone in the US tell me the best way to send letters to Kosova.  US Post lists Serbia-Montenegro, but, I do not think that mail sent to Kosova via Belgrade is workable.

The Center for Democracy and Reconciliation
in Southeast Europe

NEW DOCTORAL RESEARCH ON THE HISTORY OF SOUTHEASTERN EUROPE

A WORKSHOP, JUNE 28-30, 2001, in DUBROVNIK, CROATIA

The Center for Democracy and Reconciliation in Southeastern Europe is
convening a workshop to present, compare and discuss new doctoral research
relevant to the history of Southeastern Europe. The workshop seeks to bring
together younger scholars who have undertaken the primary research for their
doctoral dissertations or who have completed their dissertations within the
recent past (typically 3-4 years). In addition to dissertations from History
Departments, those that deal primarily with the history of any part of the
region but are being done or completed in departments other than History are
also welcome.

Younger scholars from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia,
Cyprus, FY Republic of Macedonia, Greece, Moldova, Romania, Slovenia,
Turkey, and Yugoslavia are invited to apply.  A limited number of spaces are
also available for students who originate from other countries but who are
working on Balkan issues.  The 15 selected will be notified by March 15 and
asked to submit a 5-page summary of their dissertations' findings, methods
and sources to the Center by April 15. At the workshop, selectees will be
asked to make a 15-20 minute oral presentation on their work, as well as a
10-minute discussion on somebody else's pre-circulated presentation to
others selected, and to 6 senior historians drawn from the Center's
international Board of Eminent Scholars. The majority of the workshop's time
will however be devoted to a joint discussion of papers and presentations.

Applications should reach the Center by the deadline of February 1, 2001.
All applications, papers, presentations and discussions will be in English.

Applications should consist of the following:
?	A short CV of three pages
?	A one or two page description of your dissertation and its main theses.
?	An e-mail or other address for April 1 notification

Applications may be submitted by e-mail, with a hard copy to follow if
possible.

The travel and accommodation, together with a small honorarium, will be
covered by the Center.  The location of the workshop will be finalized
shortly.

The list of senior scholars attending will be available to selectees after
April 1.

The Center is a non-governmental organisation incorporated in the
Netherlands and based in Thessaloniki, Greece.  The Center seeks to foster
democratic and pluralist societies and to encourage cross-border cooperation
and reconciliation between peoples of the region.  The workshop is a part of
the History and History Teaching Project of the Stability Pact for
Southeastern Europe, and follows a similar workshop held in October 2000.
