Serbia's president says he will never accept the independence of Kosovo, after the publication of a UN plan which could allow it to separate.
UN Special Envoy Martti Ahtisaari's plan recommends that Kosovo should govern itself democratically and be able to make international agreements.
But President Boris Tadic said the plan paved the way for independence, which he and Serbia would not accept.
Kosovo's leader said he believed the process would end in full independence.
"Kosovo will be sovereign like all other countries," President Fatmir Sejdiu said, after meeting Mr Ahtisaari.
'Dangerous precedent'
The UN has administered Kosovo since a Nato bombing campaign forced out Serbian troops in 1999.
Talks to determine the province's final status have been continuing for years without the two sides coming to agreement.
Mr Ahtisaari says the proposals are a compromise between ethnic Albanian aspirations for an independent Kosovo and Serbia's wish to keep the province as part of its territory.

It is pure fiction not worth the paper it was printed on. Perhaps some enterpreneur can start printing it on a toilet paper.
And the plan was leaked yesterday to an Albanian newspaper before it was presented to Serbia. That is an incredible insult and unbelieveably bad diplomacy -- unless you are deliberately trying to start a war.
Where is Dubya on this matter?
Waiting for the UN's plan for Mexifornia.
You won't have to wait for long.
I was thinking about you when I read this, and was going to ping you.
How long till another war? Which side will we be on? For that matter, since Russia is on the side of the Serbs, what we will do if she intervenes?
This is going to get ugly, it is only a matter of how ugly.
If the UN supports Kosovo becoming independent, then they should support an independent Kurdistan and vow to use international force against Turkey if she decides to intervene.
Speaking of property, whatever happened to the principle of inviolability of PRIVATE property - in this case some 35%-40% of the province: METOHIA?
That land is the Church's private property (hence the name "metohia"; gr. "church land/property").
BANDITRY!
Having Kurdistan would have Turkey thow in with Iran. And would have an interesting situation where two NATO countries end up facing each other.
We should expel Turkey from NATO. The Cold War is over and besides that country is Muslim and doesn't share with our interests.
I agree, but we need the bases in Turkey to supply our troops in Iraq.
So the Kurds will not be having a country anytime soon.
this "document" is simply appalling.
The Shiptar Neanderthals are too primitive and too vicious to carry out anything like this program!!!!
Yes, this is a recipe for war.
Where the "sides" end up is anybody's guess, especially with the US tied up in Iraq and Afghanistan. Lord have mercy!
I would like to see a replay of the Balkan War of 1912. Bye-bye, muslims!!!!
As far as your Mexican posts are concerned, there is a big difference. Mexicans are civilized, and Kosovo Shiptars are not!!!!
Here's the official UN Kosovo site with the proposal & all: http://www.unosek.org/unosek/index.html
Thanks for the ping Babe... |
Do not surrender one inch of territory to evil? That's what people in Vukovar were saying in November 1991!
This has nothing to do with Croatia. In fact, Croats don't like the Albanians any more than the Serbs do -- the difference is that Croats don't have to live with many of them.
