On Feb. 18, 2007, NRK, the Norwegian national public broadcaster, aired a story about Norwegian soldiers being forced to kill on operations. KFOR, the NATO-led peacekeeping force in Kosovo, received massive criticism when they failed to protect Serbs during the violent unrest in Kosovo on March 17 and 18, 2004. However, NRK's journalist Eirik Veum told the story of Norwegian soldiers protecting Serbs with their lives. Norwegian soldiers killed at least two Albanians when they tried to force themselves into the Serbian enclave of Čaglavica just outside Pristina, and the Norwegian KFOR soldiers did an excellent job when many other nations failed.

For his stories, Veum was nominated for a prize at SKUP, The Norwegian foundation for investigative journalism. More about his methods in his report: http://www.skup.no/Metoderapporter/20... (Norwegian)
