Over the years, Kosovo has been one of the most expensive international peace building and state building efforts. In 1999, the United Nations (UN) launched an extremely ambitious mission by setting up an interim administration in Kosovo (UNMIK). To date, no other mission before or after Kosovo intended to do so much in such a short time. From post war reconstruction to full scale state building – this mission marked a clear change in strategic thinking inside the UN about its role in international interventions and building stable post-conflicts states.
