U.S. And E.U. Recognize Kosovo

Kosovo received recognition from many countries today, in spite of Russia, and Serbia's opposition.

Major European powers and the U.S. recognized Kosovo on Monday, a day after the province's ethnic Albanian leaders declared independence from Serbia. Giddy Kosovars danced in the streets when they heard of the endorsements.

Kosovo's leaders sent letters to 192 countries seeking formal recognition and Britain, France, Germany and U.S. were among the countries that backed the request. But other European Union nations were opposed, including Spain which has battled a violent Basque separatist movement for decades.

We shall see if this independence will go forward in peace, or if it is just the beginning of armed conflict, in Kosovo, and the region!!
