The United Nations Security Council began debate on April 3 on the Kosovo plan drawn up by former Finnish President Martti Ahtisaari, who served as the special representative of the UN Security Council in talks on the future of Kosovo.
Ahtisaari, who spent 15 months talking with Serbian and Kosovo officials, concluded after exhaustive negotiations that independence for Kosovo is the only option available to ensure its political and economic stability. Approving the proposal would mean that Kosovo, which is officially a province of Serbia, would gain independence under the supervision of the European Union.
What does Kosovo's status mean to the future of Southeast Europe, the European Union and the United States? These and many more questions will be answered by Janusz Bugajski, an expert on the region from the Center for Strategic and International Studies, during a webchat on April 24 at 10:00 EDT (14:00 GMT).
