Kosovo MPs proclaim independence
« on: February 17, 2008, 02:49:16 PM »
Kosovo's parliament has unanimously endorsed a declaration of independence from Serbia, in an historic session.

The declaration, read by Prime Minister Hashim Thaci, said Kosovo would be a democratic country that respected the rights of all ethnic communities.

But Serbia's PM denounced the US for helping create a "false state" and protesters in Belgrade later pelted the US embassy with stones.

The UN Security Council is meeting in an emergency session to discuss Kosovo.

The meeting was demanded by Serbia's ally Russia.

Oh goody--now our boys can come home after only 10 years there.  Who was that president who said they'd only be there a few months?
