However, no more open fighting has occurred since 1999, and in that KFOR is a success.

Absolutely incorrect.

The violence continued on March 18 with further demonstrations in many localities across Kosovo, notably at Čaglavica again and also in Kosovska Mitrovica, Lipljan, Obilic and Pristina. The casualty toll at the end of the day was 28 and 600 people were injured, including 61 peacekeepers and 55 police officers. U.N. spokeswoman Isabella Karlowitz said 110 houses and 16 churches were destroyed. She also reported that around 3,600 people had been made homeless by the violence, mostly Serbs but also Roma and Ashkali.
Some lies do not become true regardless of how often they are repeated.

That’s rioting. That’s not open warfare. And there is a distinction. I wish there were a better solution, but no one wants it there. So we sit on the fire and keep it from really breaking out.
