It's overall a good write up. I think for me there's are some pieces missing though, which I would love to see further explored, although it is not possible yet to fully do so. For example:

  • Why are Jeri Laber's files on Yugoslavia between 1980-1984 restricted until 2060?
  • Why is her correspondence with the dept of state between 84 and 87 restricted until 2060?
  • Why are there almost no files listed at all from HRW between 1984 and 1990 for Yugoslavia?
  • Why did she go there in 1988?
  • Why are Ivana Nizich's 1991 files on Yugoslavia and the World Bank/IMF information restricted until 2067?
  • Why are Amnesty International docs by HRW also restricted?

If it weren't for the now releases CIA files from the 80s and 90s, you'd think the area had simply disappeared entirely.
