Kosovo leaders travel to Washington

An EU-U.S. sponsored draft resolutution resolution on Kosovo's future was dropped Friday in the face of a possible Russian veto.

The Washington talks also follow a comment by Kosovo Prime Minister Agim Ceku suggesting that the province's parliament should adopt its own resolution setting November 28 as a possible date for declaring independence unilaterally.

Ceku will be among a group of officials and politicians from the province, including its president and assembly speaker, who will meet with Rice and other U.S. officials, including national security adviser Stephen Hadley Monday.

Kosovo officials will likely tell Rice and Hadley that patience in Kosovo is running thin and that further delays could inflame public opinion, the Associated Press reported.

Moderate forces in Kosovo represented by the delegation are under pressure from more radical parties and the public to show that they will deliver independence, the agency added.

U.S. officials have said that despite the delay, the Bush administration fully supports independence.
