Like the huge meteor cruising towards Planet Earth in the Hollywood blockbuster movie "Independence Day" such a day is slowly moving through time and space to Kosova. I doubt it will have such Earth shattering consequences but the whole thing now appears similarly inevitable and completely unstoppable. Boris Tadic won the Serbian election and, being the good guy in the eyes of Europe, has delayed the inevitable day whilst a few more discussions go on but he has not and cannot stop it. Here the news is now completely mono-topical; there are non-stop discussions about preparations, for instance the Kosova Philamonic Orchestra needs to be readied, a flag needs to be chosen, celebrations planned.
The most talked about day for all this happening is now the 17th February, which happens to be our son's first Birthday. I am still not sure that it will be such a good idea that for the rest of his life he is inflicited with sharing his birthday with Kosova's historic independence day.
