The article discusses whether Kosovo will be granted independence. A long-awaited report on the status of Kosovo was handed to Kofi Annan, the United Nations (UN) secretary-general. By December 2005, UN-sponsored talks are expected to start on the future of a territory which is still bitterly contested between ethnic Serbs and Albanians. With most observers expecting the talks to lead to Kosovo's independence, there is, or at least there should be, a sense of history being made. Almost all its ethnic Albanian population--over 90% of the total--want independence, but Serbia refuses to agree. Against this unpromising background, most diplomats in Pristina, the capital, reckon the territory is heading for "conditional independence". This would mean Kosovo being fully self-governing, and endowed with some trappings of independence, like a seat at the UN, yet with certain limits on its elected authorities.

This article discusses the diplomacy shaping Kosovo's future. Since the end of the Kosovo war in 1999, Serbia's southern province has been under the jurisdiction of the UN, which last November appointed Martti Ahtisaari, a former Finnish president, to start talks on Kosovo's future status. The Serbs and Kosovo Albanians have assembled negotiating teams that are due to meet for the first time next week in Vienna. But much of the hard bargaining has already happened, among interested outside powers: Britain, France, America and Russia. Given these countries' foreign-policy differences, the degree of consensus on Kosovo is surprising. The four powers all agree that Kosovo should have "conditional independence", code for full independence after a transitional period, but with certain safeguards for Kosovo's remaining Serbs.
