Serbia: Kosovo to Declare Sovereignty

By Prensa Latina

Belgrade : Serbia warned on Friday that it has information that Kosovo Province may proclaim illegal independence on February 17, Serbian Minister for Kosovo Slobodan Samardzic informed.

The minister asserted that the European Union seeks to sign a pre-dated association and cooperation accord to justify and approve a state within Serbian territory based on lies.

Samardzic said the EU-Kosovo accord to create a free trade area and liberalize visas for the Serbians should have been signed Thursday but the EU deferred it for next week.

Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica declared he would not approve any such accord with the EU as it is a plot against his country, while President Boris Tadic wants to move closer to the European Union.
