KOSOVO INDEPENDENCE

Kosovo's predominantly ethnic Albanian leadership is expected to proclaim independence from Serbia in the next few days and the move is likely to be followed by swift recognition from the United States and most European Union nations, while Serbia and its strongest ally, Russia oppose any declaration.
