Kosovo to be recognized

Here's a couple interesting articles to update my post about Kosovo from last month.

This is an "interactive feature" of the New York Times, which is a pretty neat use of multi-media on the internet. It combines a slide show of images, audio narration, and a history of the Kosovo conflict and current political stand-off dating back to the initial war.

Now, the NYTimes is reporting that once Kosovo declares independence, the U.S. and Germany plan to recognize it as an independent nation.
