They better be talking about independence
If serbia doesnt allow independence(most likely) it will be outside international law to give kosova its sovrenity. Which means the no independence but something else that would be ok with contact group would it
Well independence the only option albanians dont care what US Russia EU or anybody else says and they will not listen to any other options except independence
They should think about the consequences if they make a mistake and not give independence
