This collection contains material related to Shawn Sullivan’s involvement in matters pertaining to the conflict in Kosovo. Mr. Sullivan was a political advisor to the KFOR commander. A part of the several regional and ethnic conflicts that occurred in the former Yugoslavia, the Kosovo war broke out in February between the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), with NATO support, and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in February of 1998. It lasted until June 1999, when Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic accepted a peace plan and the entrance of a NATO-led peacekeeping force, Kosovo Force or KFOR, into Kosovo. As of May 2019, the Republic of Kosovo is a partially recognized state and a small number of KFOR troops remain in the area. In the Automated Records Management System (ARMS) emails, there are three February 2000 emails forwarding a press report regarding the commencement of Article 32 court martial hearings against Staff Sergeant Frank Ronghi. Ronghi was accused and eventually convicted of murdering an 11 year ethnic Albanian girl in Kosovo in January 2000. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
