If the US-Vietnam conflict was the first TV war, the struggle engulfing the provinces of the former Yugoslavia is the first Internet war, as the response to Serbian attacks on ethnic Albanians in Kosovo last year clearly demonstrated (see "Balkans Online," Wired 3.11, page 158). Mentor Cana, an ex-pat Albanian who works at AT&T, is one of several who helps promote awareness of the Kosovars' plight. Here's his pick of online resources.
www.alb-net.com/ Home of the Kosovo Crisis Center (KCC), a sort of Kosovo crisis portal site.
www.albanian.com/ Begun in early 1995, it has general information regarding Albania and Albanian homelands (Kosovo, western Macedonia, Montenegro, Greece).
www.kohaditore.com/ Pictures by Koha Ditore from Prishtina - critical to human rights efforts.
www.kosovo.com/ The Serbian Democratic Movement's home on the Web, devoted to a nonviolent solution to the conflict.
listserv.ascu.buffalo.edu/archives/albanews.html Cana and his friends Dardan Blaku, Etrit Bardhi, and Besnik Pula began this listserv in April 1995, a few months after albanian.com went live. They were soon joined by Ilir Zenku in Tirana. It's intended as a news outlet as well as a discussion.
