On Jan. 31, the Kosovo Assembly passed, with 83 votes in favor and 13 against, a resolution on ending the supervised independence of Kosovo. The resolution was opposed by the Self-Determination movement, which called the document an attempt by the Kosovo government to hide painful compromises made on Kosovo and the conditions it would face.

Kosovo Premier Hashim Thaci told the Assembly that by passing this resolution, united as always when unity was needed, lawmakers would open the door to the ending of supervised independence.

The resolution was also supported by the opposition, with the exception of Self-Determination.

While expressing their disagreement with the draft resolution, the Self-Determination representatives proposed their own version, but it was not put to a vote because the draft from the Democratic Party of Kosovo had majority support.

In eight points, the resolution welcomes the recommendations of the International Management Group for Kosovo of Jan. 24, on the ending of supervised independence in this year.
