INTERNATIONAL OBSERVERS TO LEAVE KOSOVO TILL THE END OF THIS YEAR
- Kosovo moved a step closer to full control of its own affairs Tuesday, with a multinational organization announcing it will end its mandate this year pending continued progress on democratization and human rights, the AP reported.
The mandate of the International Civilian Office, which operates under the 25-nation International Steering Group, was to run out this year. But an ISG announcement was the first official confirmation the ICO plans to end the work in 2012, amid expectations that Kosovo's ethnic Albanian majority government will enact remaining legislation meant to fully guarantee and strengthen democratic institutions and human rights.
"We have helped establish the institutions," ICO head Pieter Feith told reporters. "From the end of this year onwards, Kosovo will be like any other European state and will be helped and moved forward as part of the broader European project."
