Serbia’s parliament has passed a motion condemning any declaration of independence by Kosovo.
Politicial leaders in Kosovo have been talking to Serbia for a while on the future of Kosovo but the talks have failed and Kosovo’s leaders are intending to declare independence in a few weeks.
Serbia has threatened to cut off diplomatic ties with countries that recognise Kosovo’s independence and says that if Federal Europe recognises Kosovo’s independence then they won’t join the EU. Ooooo, scary. Presumably that is intended as a threat but there aren’t many people who are going to be too bothered whether another bankrupt Eastern European state gets on the gravy train or not.
90% of the population is ethnic Albanian, not Serbian and if Kosovo wants independence, let them. What’s the point in perpetuating a union that nobody wants?

the problem is that Kosovo is sovereign Serbian territory,how would you feel if Bradford with its mostly muslim population declared independence from England?and then just add salt to the wound decided to join politically with Pakistan?.The population maybe 90% albanian but the land is still Serbia.
