Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Massacre in Kosovo

NATO Commander Wesley Clark is holding emergency talks today with Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevik, following the killing last week of 45 ethnic Albanians in the southern province of Kosovo. The talks follow Yugoslavia’s expulsion of U.S. Ambassador William Walker, who heads a Kosovo verification mission monitoring the three-month-old cease-fire in the province.

NATO has indicated that Western warplanes could start bombing Yugoslav forces almost immediately unless Milosevik ends his latest crackdown in Kosovo. Albanian Prime Minister Pandeli Majko joined his country’s main parties in calling for Milosevik to be tried for war crimes stemming from this weekend’s massacre.

Guest:

  • Jonathan Landay, National Security Correspondent for the Christian Science Monitor, focussing on the Balkans.
