Endgame in Kosovo
The decision in the coming months on Kosovo's independence will challenge the capacity of the international community, and particularly Europe, for conflict resolution. A strong and stable Kosovo will require a cohesive and united Europe to ensure protection of the province's Serb minority and persuade Serbia that its future lies in the EU.
In the coming months, a fundamental decision will be made that will challenge the capacity of the international community, particularly Europe, for conflict resolution. The issue is Kosovo’s status – the last unresolved piece of the bloodstained Balkans puzzle. For Serbs and Albanians alike, Kosovo is a place haunted by history. But the world must not allow their freighted narratives about the past to cloud our actions to build a better future.
