Kosovo Independence "Within Days" of Serb Election, Says Thaci
Kosovo's Prime Minister Hashim Thaci announced Wednesday, Jan. 30 that the Serbian province will declare its independence within days of this weekend's Serbian presidential elections, regardless of who wins the vote. "The developments in Serbia do not have any influence on Kosovo," Thaci, the leader of the ethnic Albanian majority in the breakaway Serbian province, told journalists after meeting with senior police officials. "The independence of Kosovo will happen in the next few days, regardless if Tadic or Nikolic wins." Reuters news agency reported Wednesday, quoting unnamed sources, that Kosovo would declare independence after the Serbian presidential election on Feb. 3 if the nationalist candidate Tomislav Nikolic wins.
