Serbia gives up bid on Kosovo rule The Serbian government has given up its bid to challenge Kosovo's independence at the UN general assembly meeting, after reaching a compromise with the European Union (EU). The UN general assembly on Thursday adopted a watered-down resolution without a formal vote, which "acknowledges" an international court ruling that Kosovo's declaration of independence from Serbia was legal. The landmark resolution called for dialogue between Serbia and Kosovo. "Dialogue in itself would be a factor for peace, security and stability in the region," the joint Serbia-EU resolution read. But Serbia maintained it would never accept the split. Boris Tadic, the Serbian president, said there will be no... Click here for more details. |

Ground Zero rebirth masks new tensions NEW YORK ' New towers are finally rising from Ground Zero, but disputes over plans for a nearby mosque and a Florida pastor's vow to burn the Holy Quran ensure this Saturday's 9/11 anniversary will be unusually bitter.

After nine years of embarrassing delays, the lower Manhattan site no longer resembles a vast bomb crater in the middle of some of the world's most expensive real estate.
