WAR IN THE BALKANS: QUOTES
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference."We need to be ready to take the refugees home as soon as it is appropriate and safe to do so ... in a permissive or a non-permissive environment"
Robin Cook, Foreign Secretary
"Those troops are going to go in in a permissive way. We will keep intensifying the air campaign. We believe it is working"

"We should not think of an intervention by ground troops, but we must work to arrive at a negotiated solution to the conflict"
Lamberto Dini, Italian Foreign Minister
"I was lucky. I was beaten only on the hands, 70 to 100 times. Others were forced to fight each other with broomsticks"
Fitim Syla, a man who was given up for dead in Kosovo
"I think that if we don't send ground troops this conflict will never be resolved"
Carlos Westendorp, West's top peace envoy to Bosnia and former Spanish foreign minister
