/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Following the expiration of troika’s mediation,
Kosovo’s leaders announced start of consultations for adoption of a
declaration on independence.

Pristina negotiating team spokesman Skender Hiseni promised it will
happen "much earlier than May."

Meanwhile, the EU member states, but for Cyprus, express support to
the breakaway province’s independence.

The Russian Foreign Ministry keeps on convincing that such a decision
will cause a chain reaction in Balkans. "Kosovo’s independence will
not pass without consequences," RF FM Sergei Lavrov said.

UK Foreign Secretary David Miliband offered to expand NATO contingent
in Kosovo to neutralize any violence outburst, Komsomolskaya Pravda
reports.
