Times<\/em> \u00e9crit:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abThe United States and most of the European Union will recognize Kosovo if the Balkan province declares independence from Serbia in early December, when last-ditch negotiations end, United States and European officials said Monday.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThe officials spoke as Serbian and Kosovo Albanian diplomats prepared to sit down this week at the United Nations for talks billed as part of a final effort to get agreement on the issue of Kosovo’s independence. Its future status has fueled a confrontation between the West and Russia, which has threatened to veto any Security Council resolution approving independence for Kosovo.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb The game plan is set, said a senior European diplomat who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the delicacy of the matter.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThe talks end on Dec. 10. If there is no sense then that Serbia and Kosovo can agree on the province’s future, then Kosovo will make a unilateral declaration of independence, he said, adding that the U.S. will recognize that independence and the Europeans, as far as they can remain united, will follow too.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbOn Monday, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said in an interview with Reuters: There’s going to be an independent Kosovo. It’s the only solution that is potentially stabilizing for the Balkans rather than destabilizing for the Balkans.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbIllustrating the thorniness of the issue for European nations, President Nicolas Sarkozy of France said in an interview last week that Europe must stay united on Kosovo, but that Russia’s position must be taken into account as well.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbKosovo’s independence is unavoidable in the long term, he said, adding that Russia’s president, Vladimir V. Putin, must understand that no one wants to humiliate him.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tIl est probable que Poutine parlera en d\u00e9tails de cette affaire \u00e0 Sarkozy, lors de la visite de ce dernier en Russie (les 12-14 octobre). D’une fa\u00e7on g\u00e9n\u00e9rale, il y a une r\u00e9elle inconscience, du c\u00f4t\u00e9 occidental, des cons\u00e9quences probables d’une probable ind\u00e9pendance du Kosovo. \u00abLes Europ\u00e9ens vivent encore \u00e0 l’heure de la guerre du Kosovo pour cette affaire-l\u00e0, <\/em>dit encore notre source. Ils ont le souvenir de Russes tr\u00e8s accommodants, pour ne pas dire plus. Cela, c’est fini. La r\u00e9action russe risque d’\u00eatre brutale. Une nouvelle crise grave pourrait s’ouvrir en Europe, d’autant que tout le monde reconna\u00eet en priv\u00e9 que les conditions actuelles au Kosovo sont catastrophiques par rapport \u00e0 ce qu’on en attendait, avec une direction kosovar tr\u00e8s douteuse et incontr\u00f4lable.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
