Great Powers Will Support Kosovo’s Independence

PRISTINA, March 13, 2006 (KosovaLive) –The prestigious American daily the New York Times considers the statement of British Foreign Minister in recent meeting in Salzburg as the clearest statement so far in support of Kosovo’s independence.

Under the headline ‘The sings of independence’, The New York Times quotes British Foreign Minister Jack Straw as saying that independence for Kosovo is almost unavoidable.
The paper also reports about election of Agim Ceku in the post of Kosovo’s Prime Minister. Ceku is also quoted as saying that the road towards independence goes through respecting of minorities.

The Washington Post, another US daily quote Ceku as saying that everything less than independence is unacceptable, and that minorities will be a high priority of his Government.
