The CIA wrote a document in 1990 "Yugoslavia transformed". It briefly discusses increasing repression of Albanian Kosovars advocating autonomy, and sporadic ethnic conflict, but at that point it even considered military force involvement in secession attempts unlikely. If there were a massive human rights abuse situation at the time of Laber's article, also 1990, how did the CIA miss that?
