It is time for the international community to recognize Kosovo’s independence, New York Times says. “The U.S: and the majority of EU countries that also favor independence must now take a firm stand. If Russia continues to oppose the United Nations’ plan, Washington and its allies must move ahead anyway and recognize Kosovo in time for the Dec. 10 deadline,” the newspaper said in its Friday issue. NYT: Kosovo independence, or turmoil It adds that those in favor of independence “must also make clear to Belgrade that it has a lot to gain – including eventual membership in the European Union and NATO – if it doesn’t object too loudly or too destructively.” “Many Serbs would clearly prefer to be a favored ally of the West than of Russia,” argues the daily. Although Kosovo’s government "still has a way to go to fully guarantee the rights of its Serb population, more delays would only feed the resentments that led to so much turmoil and bloodshed throughout the 1990s,” the editorial argues. According to the NYT, a sovereign Kosovo, “like all new democracies”, will need "long-term help" meeting legal, human rights, economic and other challenges, but its people "deserve the chance to try." "And Serbs need to come to terms with the fact that Kosovo will never again be ruled by Belgrade. It’s time to begin healing this last Balkan wound," concludes the newspaper.
