Martti Ahtisaari said Tuesday he believed the status of Kosovo would be decided in the first quarter of 2008. "I hope and believe the solution will come during the first quarter of the year," Ahtisaari, a UN envoy for the province, said quoted by Reuters, but added: Ahtisaari expects Kosovo solution in first quarter "What it will look like is another question." Ahtisaari told Reuters at a Finnish Defense Ministry reception that not much was happening on the Kosovo question at the moment because the United Nations Security Council could not agree on the issue. Ahtisaari said he was not disappointed by the lack of progress in the Security Council. "Nothing surprising has happened." Almost a year ago, his plan to grant Kosovo supervised independence fell through when it was blocked at the UN several times by Russia, after being rejected by Belgrade. The U.S., EU and Kosovo Albanians, on the other hand, endorsed the blueprint. Martti Ahtisaari (FoNet, archive)
