EU FMS TO DISCUSS KOSOVO MONDAY

Kosovo problem will be discussed Monday at a meeting of the EU Foreign Ministers Foreign Ministers from Britain, Germany, France and Italy have written to their counterparts in fellow EU member states saying that the time for negotiation is over, and that the EU must honor its responsibilities to Kosovo. Mediators in talks between Kosovo and Serbia have concluded that no agreement can be reached on Kosovo's final status ahead of a UN deadline on 10 December. The troika of the EU, US and Russia spent 120 days trying to broker a deal. Kosovo is still a province of Serbia, but ethnic Albanian leaders there have threatened to declare independence unilaterally after the deadline lapses. NATO - fearing a violent Serb reaction - has said it will keep 16,000 troops in Kosovo to deter any clashes, BBC reports.
