With newly elected president Boris Tadic (who won in a rather close election 50.5% to 47% for nationalist opponent Tomislav Nikolic), the EU as moved to improve relations with Serbia, and Kosovo is expected to declare independence soon. At a critical time, the election of Tadic is seen as an indication that Serbia is moving towards more democracy and closer relations with the European Union, including the possibility of future admittance into the folds of the organization. at the same time, Kosovo is about to declare it's independence, WITHIN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. WOAH! Actually, no launch date has been decided as yet for the launch of EU police and legal officials to provide stability during the changeover but one is expected to be decided by EU foreign ministers on the 18th of February. The NATO forces currently stationed in Kosovo are also expected to remain.
History is in the works! Here's the link to an entire article about it from the BBC:
