CNN: Europe leaders agree Kosovo force

For the complete report from the CNN.com clickon this link

European leaders agreed Friday to send an 1,800-strong security force to maintain stability in Kosovo, although they stopped short of backing independence for the province. Kosovo is expected to declare independence from Serbia early in the new year. Serbia, however, insists the region should remain autonomous within its borders.Speaking at the end of a one-day summit of European heads in Brussels, Jose Socrates, the Portuguese prime minister currently holding the European Union presidency, said that sending the security mission was a "political decision."

Would this be the mission EUPT is currently preparing for the ESDP Mission in Kosovo. If they want the 1800 strong on the ground prior to a declaration of independance one would think they should act now
