   Kosovo has declared its independence. As you know its had de facto independence from Serbia since 1999 NATO air strikes. 16,000 NATO troops are stationed in Kosovo to protect it from Serbia, which has declared the declaration of independence "illegal." Serbia has vowed to fight the independence by giving any state that recognizes Kosovo a diplomatic cold shoulder (oh noes!), and Serbian mobs stormed the Slovenian embassy (?!) where they burned Slovenian and EU flags. Russia has called for an emergency Security Council session and vowed to veto any UN recognition of Kosovo as a state.


   On the subject of declaring independence, while researching Malaysia for the recent MUN conference I discovered that Singapore is the only state known ever to gain its independence against its own will -- it was expelled from the Malaysian Federation in 1965.
