Status?

"Status" has been imminent ever since I arrived, almost a year and a half ago.
Every few months a new date was rumoured to be the day the UN Security Council would make a decision. But it never happened.
"Status"(that is, the decision on the official status of Kosovo as an entity within or independant of Serbia) has recently fired up again as a topic, and is being talked about in a different way - as a Unilateral Declaration of Independance by the Kosovar Albanian majority Parliament.

February 08 is widely tipped to be the month this will happen... but then again so was December 07.
The latest published information is outlined below:

Pristina media quote unnamed senior Kosovo officials laying out the most likely scenario for the timing of an upcoming independence declaration. They expect the following series of actions to be based on what they say are clear signals allegedly already received from Washington and Brussels:
a declaration on 17 February; an immediate first wave of recognitions led by Slovenia to be followed over time by at least two subsequent waves; an EU Foreign Ministers (GAERC) meeting on Monday 18 February to approve sending the ESDP mission.

Media also cite a Reuter’s article suggesting that the dates may be accelerated in case of
victory by Serbian Radical Party candidate Nikolic in the second round of Serbian
presidential elections on 3 February. “If (Tomislav) Nikolic wins, it's the 9th
or 10th [February],” a senior political source told Reuters on condition of anonymity.
Austrian diplomat Albert Rohan told Koha Ditore that “Proclamation of
independence will take place in mid-February and Kosovo is ready for it regardless
of problems that may come up”.

According to Prime Minister Hashim Thaçi, Kosovo will declare independence within days of this weekend's Serbian presidential elections, he said on Wednesday. “The developments in Serbia
do not have any influence on Kosovo. Kosovo has its own path,” Thaçi told journalists after meeting with senior police officials.
