/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The United States and European countries decided
not to put the question of Kosovo's future status to the vote in the
UN Security Council.
Instead, they decided to initiate talks between Belgrade and
Pri~Ztina. Great Britain's Ambassador to the United Nations Emir Jones
Perry stated there is no sense in putting the draft resolution on
Kosovo to the vote, since Russia opposes the document. Perry says,
it is necessary to negotiate with Serbia on the issue, which is
against Kosovo's independence, as well as with the leadership of
Kosovo himself.
Earlier Prime Minister of Kosovo Agim Ceku stated the province would
declare his independence from Serbia on 28th of November, a symbolic
day for Albanian nationalists. Ceku underlined that he calls on to
declare independence unilaterally.
Generally, the West supports claims of the Albanian majority of Kosovo
to grant independence to the province from Serbia; however, the EU
opposes unilateral actions by Pri~Ztina. Russia, however, insists that
Serbia's opinion must be taken into account in this issue. Russia has
refused to participate in works of a new, third variant of draft UN SC
resolution on Kosovo, which western diplomats called the "last effort"
to reach agreement with Moscow on the future of the breakaway province.
Kosovo with a 90% ethnic Albanian population is under the UN
administration since 1999, when NATO bombings forced Serbian troops
to leave the province. According to Albanian media commanders of
former Liberation Army of Kosovo made it clear they are ready to
resume their armed struggle if the issue to grant independence to
the province will be dragged out, the BBC Russian service reports.
