UN envoy to issue brief on plan for Kosovo's future

A UN envoy was briefing the US, Russia and key European allies in Austria today on his proposal for the future of Serbia’s independence-minded province of Kosovo.

Martti Ahtisaari, a former Finnish president who led months of negotiations between Serbian leaders and representatives from Kosovo’s ethnic Albanian majority, was presenting the plan at the UN complex in Vienna to members of the so-called Contact Group – the US, Russia, Britain, France, Germany and Italy.
