Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
VIENNA, March 12 (UPI) -- A U.N. plan on the future status of Serbia's mainly ethnic-Albanian Kosovo province is ready to be sent to the U.N. offices in New York for consideration.
The plan, which would grant Kosovo the right to govern itself, was worked out by Martti Ahtisaari, the chief U.N. envoy to the Kosovo talks between Serbs and ethnic-Albanians that ended without agreement Saturday in Vienna, the Serbian news agency Beta reported Monday.
Remi Durlo, spokesman for the U.N. office of the special envoy for Kosovo, told Beta that Albert Rohan, Ahtisaari's deputy at the Vienna talks, will fly to New York on Wednesday to submit the plan to the U.N. Secretariat Thursday or Friday.
After the plan is considered and translated in several languages, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is to submit the document to the Security Council for consideration.
Durlo said he expected the Security Council and Ahtisaari would meet in April, at a date to be decided by Britain, which will preside over council sessions that month.
The United States will preside over the Security Council in May.
