A question is looming over the former Yugoslavia: will the international community and UNMIK bring about international recognition of Kosovo against Serbia's constitution? Kosovo Prime Minister Ceku might be prepared to declare independence with or without an agreement. South Ossetia votes for political independence this weekend in referendum #2, but the outcome will be similar to #1: landslide for separation; virtually zero acknowledgement from the international community. Chances for U.S. Iraq operation overhaul increase dramatically after election, as military leaders prepare to lay out 'strategy changes' for Iraq, and anti-war attitudes persist. AU adds six battalions and contingent of police officers to Dafur peacekeeping deployment.
