The future behaviour of a less developed country will, however, be more difficult to predict. (BNCI)

etnické čištění

Things must be out of control if even UN administrators and NATO officers, who usually deny or minimize Albanian crimes, now admit that we are witnessing a coordinated, premeditated campaign of ethnic cleansing.(WebCorp)

The "humanitarian" justification for the Kosovo war—the contention that this is about returning Albanian refugees to their homes—was rank hypocrisy. The Clinton administration was not bothered by ethnic cleansing.(WebCorp)

Recently, however, it has been given added emphasis and urgency by the growing appreciation that the damage being done to the environment by the use of fossil fuels may require drastic restrictions on their use. (BNCI)
