This report discusses the possible independence of Kosovo from a legal point of view. The author states that while the Kosovo Albanians seek maximum self-determination with international assistance, the Serbs hope for a conservative interpretation of international law on the Kosovo issue. In other words, while the Albanians seek de jure but not de facto independence, the Serbs hope for de facto but not de jure independence for Kosovo. The report also analyzes the general international negotiations on the possible independence of Kosovo and provides information on the issues and actors involved.
