The issue of granting automatic independence for the region dominated by ethnic Albanians has been a bone of contention between Russia, a Serbian ally, and the other four members in the UN Security Council. The new resolution gives mediators four months to try and find a solution.

UN missions are already discussing another, third draft resolution, which is yet to be submitted to the UN Security Council.

Kosovars, who have been under the UN protectorate since NATO's 78-day bombings, are seeking independence from Serbia warning that they may have to take the situation into their own hands if no decision is made soon.
