Born in Czechoslovakia, Albright holds a special place in her heart for
that part of the world. After the fall of communism in 1989, she met
the new president Václav Havel and forged a friendship that would last
many years. In 1997, Albright was awarded the Order of the White
Lion by Havel for her years of work on behalf of democracy. (In 1992,
Czechoslovakia divided peacefully into two parts: the Czech Republic
and Slovakia).
Yugoslavia was another story. When the Cold War
ended, the country broke apart. Brutal wars broke out
among various ethnic factions in Bosnia and later in
Kosovo. At Albright’s urging, NATO intervened to halt
the terror and violence. Today the region includes the
independent countries of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo,
Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia.
Albright and her European counterparts were greatly concerned
about the violent break-up of Yugoslavia. She made multiple trips
to the region, including 8 trips to Bosnia-Herzegovina, 8 trips to
Croatia, 2 trips to Kosovo and 1 trip to Serbia-Montenegro.
