Kosovo Declares Its Independence From Serbia

As expected, Kosovo is now independent, with US and EU backing, but with the opposition of Serbia and Russia. Moscow, of course, is in it for the money and because it’s looking to gain any edge against the west it can. Meanwhile, there’s tension in the Serbian governing institutions as the pro-Western, pro-EU President Boris Tadic’s attempts to get Serbia on the track to EU membership are thwarted by the Prime Minister, Vojislav Kostunica, who holds that Serbia can’t be getting warm and fuzzy with the EU as long as they support a free Kosovo. If high diplomacy and international politics is your idea of fun, these are fun times indeed.
