Spotlight: Kosovo: One year on

Today, we will talk about Kosovo. In February 2008, the Albanian provisional government in NATO-occupied Kosovo declared its independence. It was done without Serbia’s consent or UN approval. The new state was immediately recognized by the U.S. and a number of its allied states, including most of the EU. The expected resistance from Serbia failed to materialise, though Belgrade still refuses to recognize the secessionists. Today, a year after the secession, we’ll be talking about the situation around Kosovo and its ramifications for world politics with Edward Lozansky, president of the American University in Moscow and Aleksey Kuzmin, Chairman of the advisory board at the National Prospects Foundation.
