Following signals from Kosovo Albanian officials that they may take the matter in their hands and declare independence after December 10th, a number of Western nations have indicated their readiness to recognise an independent Kosovo, even if it is not backed by a UN Security Council decision.
Posle signala od strane zvaničnika kosovskih Albanaca da bi mogli da preuzmu stvar u svoje ruke i proglase nezavisnost posle 10. decembra, izvestan broj zapadnih zemalja nagovestio je svoju spremnost da prizna nezavisnost Kosova, čak i ako nije podržana odlukom Saveta bezbednosti UN.
