Well, the article is here at CNN.com:
Kosovo declares independence
But is this good news? Probably not, I think. It is quite ironic that you have the UK and the US helping to establish what will be basically a Muslim state to the detriment of the surrounding Orthodox Christian state of Serbia.
While the Albanian Kosovars are not very devout, once you have a Muslim state you have a good beginning point for shari'a. Muslims will generally fight against shari'a, even if they don't like it. Non-Muslims (excepting the Archbishop of Canterbury) will generally resist the instauration of shari'a.
It should also be understood that Kosovo is basically a state of the EU--they are providing much of the police force and government bureaucracy. It will be interesting to see where this ends up--other than the fact that Russia is really mad.
