Report: Supervised independence for Kosovo Released : Thursday, January 04, 2007 9:02 AM A U.N. envoy is to propose supervised independence for Serbia's predominantly ethnic-Albanian Kosovo province, Austria's Die Presse said. Martti Ahtisaari, chief U.N. envoy leading Serb-ethnic-Albanian talks on Kosovo, is expected to announce his proposal on Kosovo next month, Serbia's B92 radio reported. Quoting unidentified Western diplomats, Die Presse said the so-called Contact Group of six major world countries, including the United States and Russia, should meet in Vienna Feb. 26 to reach an agreement on Ahtisaari's proposal. A decision on the future status of Kosovo should be taken by the U.N. Security Council in March. Serbia, supported by Russia, wants to keep Kosovo as Belgrade autonomous province, while leaders of ethnic-Albanians insist on independence from Belgrade.
