Kosovo declares independence, Serbia rejects

2 hours ago

PRISTINA (AFP) — Kosovo on Sunday declared independence from an angry and anxious Serbia, completing the conflict-strewn breakup of the former Yugoslavia.

Tens of thousands of people in central Pristina erupted in cheers as the Kosovo parliament formally voted to break from Serbia. The celebrating went on into the night.

But the Serbian government, backed by Russia which demanded a UN Security Council meeting, vowed to never recognise the move and several hundred protesters stoned the Belgrade diplomatic missions of the United States and European Union, the main backers of Kosovo independence.

A grenade exploded in the flashpoint northern Kosovo town of Mitrovica after the independence declaration by the ethnic Albanian-majority parliament, police said.

The blast occurred near a UN court, while another grenade was thrown at the location of a future EU mission in the city but failed to go off, police said.

Kosovo police had to stop several hundred former Serbian army reservists -- veterans of the 1998-99 Kosovo war -- from crossing into the territory ahead of the independence declaration.

The group, dressed in military uniforms, broke through a Serbian police cordon at the Merdare crossing before being held back, witnesses said.

Kosovo lawmakers voted for a declaration that recalled the province's "years of strife and violence" under Serbian sovereignty but vowing to "protect and promote the rights of all communities" in the new country -- a reference to the Serb minority in the two million population.

"We are now an independent, free, sovereign and democratic country," announced Kosovo parliament speaker Jakup Krasniqi.

While the United States and European Union are quickly expected to recognise the new state, Serbia angrily rejected the declaration.

Serbia's President Boris Tadic said his country would never accept an independent Kosovo.

"Serbia has reacted and will react with all peaceful, diplomatic and legal means to annul this act committed by Kosovo's institutions," Tadic said in a statement.

Russia, Serbia's closest international partner, demanded that an UN Security Council meeting on Sunday "nul and void" the independence declaration.

Independence brings down the curtain on the long and brutal break-up of Yugoslavia since the demise of communism in Europe in 1990s which saw the continent's worst atrocities since World War II.

About 10,000 people died in the 1998-1999 Kosovo war as Serb forces tried to put down ethnic Albanian separatists. A NATO air war against late Serbian strongman Slobodan Milosevic halted the conflict and Kosovo has since been under UN administration.

"We've been waiting for this day for such a long time," said Sherife Bajrami, a Pristina doctor. "We'll celebrate with dignity, with respect for minorities, for all to live happily in the land of Kosovo."

The declaration started a 120-day transition period and the deployment of a 2,000-strong European Union police and judicial team to help the transition.

Kosovo President Fatmir Sejdiu called on "all the countries of the world" to recognise Kosovo's independence.

The European Union is split over independence. Britain, France, Germany and Italy are expected to officially give recognition on Monday.

Greece, Cyprus, Romania, Slovakia, Spain and Bulgaria have all opposed independence.

The breakaway Georgian regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia plan to ask Russia and the UN to recognise their independence following Kosovo's move, Russia's Interfax news agency quoted leaders in the two regions as saying.

Kosovo's constitution is expected to be based on a blueprint for "supervised independence" proposed by UN special envoy Martti Ahtisaari.

Russia blocked the Ahtisaari plan at the United Nations and Kosovo's independence was declared without UN Security Council approval. The council met again Sunday at Russia's demand, diplomats said.

The United States reaffirmed its strong backing for an independent Kosovo however.

"On Kosovo, our position is that its status must be resolved in order for the Balkans to be stable," US President George W. Bush said.

With an estimated unemployment rate of 40 percent and half its population under the age of 25, Kosovo will nevertheless remain highly dependent on massive infusions of Western economic aid.

An estimated 120,000 Serbs live in Kosovo, which is home to some of the most important shrines of the Serbian Orthodox faith. More than 220,000 others have left since 1999. Belgrade is imploring Serbs in Kosovo to stay put as an act of defiance.

Nu recunoaste.

Eu personal nu stiu ce sa zic despre acest Kosovo.
Pe vremuri simpatizam cu albanezii.... asta pana am ajuns sa-i cunosc cu adevarat si pana am aflat ce fel de oameni sunt albanezii in general.
Insa nici sarbii nu-s mai "de comitet" drept sa spun...
