The Kosovo parliament will make a declaration of intent on February 17. Independence itself will be declared in early March. "Declaration of intent Feb.17; independence in March" The Slovenian 24ur.com portal reports that the timeframe for Kosovo declaring independence now has an actual framework, quoting Kosovo TV, which said that between the declaration of intent and the independence declaration itself, the Kosovo parliament will adopt 30 laws stemming from the Martti Ahtisaari plan. These would include the already prepared Kosovo Constitution and state symbols. The parliament will have to decide on one of three proposals for the flag and one of two for the crest. That course of events should to some extent take the sting out of the potential Cypriot and Romanian vetoes to sending the EU mission to Kosovo, say 24ur.com. For the moment, it’s still not clear whether the parliament will take a decision on the EU mission at the same time as it makes its declaration of intent, or whether it will leave that until the actual declaration of independence in March. There is also talk of what to do in the event of the northern Kosovo Serbs seceding and trying to re-unite with Serbia, though it is more likely that a parallel institution will be created, says the Slovenian portal, adding that the Serb minority intends to found its own Kosovo Serb Parliament as early as Friday. According to Pristina daily Zeri, this will be done at the initiative of Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica and Kosovo Minister Slobodan Samardzic, parallel to the boycott of the EU mission.
