EU mission agreed to stabilise Kosovo

At the European Council, Brussels, 14 December 2007 EU leaders stated that the current situation in Kosovo was unsustainable.
They said that they had agreed 'in principle' to send a mission of 1,800 police and judicial officials to the province.

As a gesture to Serbia EU leaders also offered to accelerate Serbia's membership in the bloc, but only after Belgrade hands over war crime fugitives still at large.
