Could Kosovo's status be put on hold until 2020 in exchange for billions of Euros in aid and an eventual referendum? BIRN takes a look in Kosovo's Moment of Truth at what the decision might mean for Kosovo. Kosovo's PM Agim Ceku has already rejected the idea stating that Kosovo's independence is not for sale. However, given that Kosovo will face tough economic times and possible isolation following a unilateral declaration of independence, other politicians might want to think twice before rejecting the plan so quickly. However, is the whole 2020 plan just a hoax??? The US State Department denies that there are any new plans for Kosovo's status other than the implementation of the Ahtisaari proposal.
