The U.N. ambassador from Yugoslavia will discuss the crisis in his country Thursday night at the Westlake Inn.

A panel of experts will also be on hand to ask questions in a discussion moderated by Steve Day, program director for KVEN-AM (1450).
Jovanovic will discuss the historical background, the role religion plays, the war’s ramifications on refugees, and why he thinks NATO is not justified in its involvement.
