Our reporter's reflections 25 years after Kosovo's succession from the state of Serbia

Twenty-five years ago this week, NATO troops entered Kosovo, ending a two-year struggle between Albanian guerrillas of the Kosovo Liberation Army and the Serb forces of the Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, during which 13,000 people, the vast majority of them Albanians, were killed. The BBC's International Editor Jeremy Bowen reported on the war - and now reflects for Weekend on his impressions of the conflict and on subsequent foreign interventions.

Also in the programme: Israel says it will suspend fighting along one road in Gaza on a daily basis to allow aid access - but the war will continue. And Ukraine's first LGBTQ+ Pride march since the full-scale Russian invasion began in 2022.
