( Reuters ) - Russia said on Wednesday talks over the future of the breakaway Serb province of Kosovo should not end on Dec. 10, the date after which the Kosovo Albanians have threatened to declare independence anyway.
"The negotiation process does not end on Dec. 10 ... We do not see Dec. 10 as some kind of a watershed. It is just a completion of a stage," Vladimir Chizhov, Russia's envoy to the European Union, told a news conference via a video link from Brussels.
