President Putin of Russia frequently claims that Kosovo created a precedent, allowing Russian military intervention in separatist areas of the former Soviet Union, recognition of Abkhazian and South Ossetian independence, and annexation of Crimea.
Is Putin justified in this claim? If yes, does this change the way we view the situation today? And if not, what can be done about it? Our forum will address these questions in the context of the Caucasus, Central Asia, and relevant parts of eastern Europe.
This event is co-sponsored by the Center for Transatlantic Relations at Johns Hopkins University-SAIS.
