Serbia and Kosovo, Friends Since Today

Kosovo and Serbia have signed a set of agreements in a major step towards normalising ties... The two countries were after all at war with each other 28 short years ago.

There has been some debate amongst journalists about what to call refugees but whatever you call them, everyone agrees their plight is a tragic one. Kilian Kleinschmidt, a German man who, until recently, ran the massive Zataari refugee camp in Jordan, has plenty of stories to tell with regards to this plight. He sat down with Chris Cummins at the currently on-going Alpbach Forum and gave some of his impressions.
