'We are ready and in coordination with our Western allies, the United States and European Union, we will declare independence during this month,' Krasniqi said a day after the Serbian presidential elections.
Albanian sources speculate that the likely date for the declaration of independence would be Sunday, February 17, a day before EU ministers are expected to decide on sending the ESDP mission to Kosovo.
