Serbia and Russia oppose EU in Kosovo
Wed Mar 12, 12:16 AM ET

Serbia and Russia are demanding that the U.N. administration in Kosovo halt
the transfer of authority to the European Union.

They call the planned EU takeover of Kosovo's administration illegal and say
they will never recognize the independence of the breakaway Serb province.

But the U.S. and British ambassadors said debates over whether Kosovo should
secede are over, and it's time to address the future of an independent
Kosovo and an independent Serbia in Europe.

The U.S. and Britain were among the first countries to recognize Kosovo
after its Feb. 17 declaration of independence.

Serbia asked to address the Security Council Tuesday to discuss Kosovo's
declaration of independence. He got strong support from Russia's U.N.
Ambassador Vitaly Churkin.
