The last days of Serbian occupation

Mark Urban reported on the tense last 24 hours of Serbian control of Pristina in Kosovo in June 1999, speaking to scared civilians on both sides as liberating Nato troops prepared to enter the town at the end of the Kosovan war.

Newsnight's librarian Adam Gotch chose this film because the sequence of the Serbian army leaving really struck a chord with him - particularly the growing fear of both communities breaking up.

Originally broadcast on 14 June 1999.

A special programme to mark Newsnight's 30th anniversary will be broadcast on Saturday 23 January 2010 at 8pm on BBC Two.
