People gathering around tank, bang on it STORYLINE: NATO troops surrounded churches and Serb houses in Dobercane, eastern Kosovo, on February 16th, just hours before Kosovo parliament was expected to declare independence. European Union nations meanwhile agreed to send a 1,800-strong mission to Kosovo to help the fledgling state build its police force and judiciary. The mission will include 700 police officers, as well as judges, prosecutors and other legal experts, to help the ethnic Albanian leadership with security, legal and customs issues after Kosovo breaks away from Serbia. Some 100-thousand Serbs live in Kosovo, some of them scattered in central and eastern Kosovo while the rest are grouped in the troubled north bordering the rest of Serbia. On Sunday February 17th Kosovo declared itself a nation, mounting a brash and historic bid to become an "independent and democratic state" backed by the US and key European allies, but bitterly contested by Serbia and Russia. "Kosovo is a republic, an independent, democratic and sovereign state," parliament speaker Jakup Krasniqi said as the chamber burst into applause after a unanimous vote to approve the document. Kosovo's 10 minority Serb lawmakers boycotted the session, and Serbian President Boris Tadic immediately rejected the independence bid as ''unilateral and illegal.''
