Description: This article focuses on the events of 1999–2005: From the beginning of the second war, disguised under the euphemism of an ‘anti-terrorist operation’, right through to the election of the parliament, which finalized the formation of the governmental authorities of the republic. Along the way, the people of the republic have had to live through air and artillery shelling, ‘cleansing’ and terrorist attacks, kidnappings and arrests, a pathetic imitation of democratic procedures, and harassment on the grounds of nationality and religious cleavages.
