UN postpones Kosovo talks

Negotiations over a UN plan for Kosovo were postponed today for one week, after Serbia requested more time to allow for a parliament to be formed in Belgrade, a UN mediator said.

Albert Rohan said chief UN envoy Martti Ahtisaari agreed to reschedule the talks for February 21, after receiving a formal request from Serbian president Boris Tadic. The negotiations had initially been planned for February 13.
