Report: NATO plans to seize control of Kosovo’s north
NATO and the UN police in Kosovo are reportedly planning to tighten their control over northern Kosovo.
The move would come in case Kosovo declares its independence unliaterally after talks on its future end next month, Balkan Insight reported on its website.
With the US on the side of Kosovar independence, and Russia on the side of Serbia, this could really devolve into an even worse mess than it already is.

It's hard to imagine a worse outcome for the Balkans
The prospect of war has commentators screaming that "something must be done". I have not read one sensible answer to the question: what? Had Nato negotiated some sort of delegated sovereignty for Kosovo with the post-Milosevic government in Belgrade, Pristina hardliners might have been faced down and Serbia's notional integrity preserved.
That day has passed. It is easy to "hope" that Thaci and the Serbian prime minister, Vojislav Kostunica, might see the virtue of compromise and agree to go their separate ways under some sort of UN "sovereignty umbrella" (once proposed for the Falklands). But with Russia behind the Serbs, and Europe and America behind the Kosovans, why should leaders in either Belgrade or Pristina risk the wrath of their electorates by compromising? Once steeped in such dependency, no one feels any pressure to back down.
