Any partition of Kosovo or exchange of territory with Serbia would ignite "war," Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj warned on Friday, shooting down proposals that have been floated to break a diplomatic gridlock between the former war foes.
Kosovo, a former southern province of Serbia that is home to an ethnic Albanian majority, broke away from Belgrade through a bloody guerilla conflict in the late 1990s that claimed around 13,000 lives, mostly ethnic Albanians.
