Czech PM at EU Summit in Brussels

Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek is in Brussels for an EU summit dominated by the future of Kosovo, the Serbian province now geared towards independence. The EU has made clear it sees the situation in Kosovo as unsustainable. Leaders on Friday agreed to send an 1,800 person strong security force to the province, replacing the current UN mission. The EU also offered Serbia a fast track option towards candidacy for membership in the union, but such a trade-off has been rejected.
