Serbia Declares Kosovo's Independence "criminal"

Kosovo Albanian leaders are charged with "organising the proclamation of a phoney state on Serbian territory". Serbian leaders say Kosovo's independence is a violation of international law, its constitution, the UN Charter and UN Security Council Resolution 1244.

"Resolution 1244, adopted at the end of the Kosovo conflict, gave the territory "substantial autonomy" under Serbian sovereignty and put in place the UN mission and NATO-led peacekeepers." http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/02/18/2166065.htm?section=world
