PRISTINA, Serbia (AP)--Ethnic Albanian leaders and Western capitals have agreed on a date for Kosovo to declare independence from Serbia, the province's prime minister said Tuesday. 

Hashim Thaci said the date had been coordinated with both Washington and Brussels, the seat of the European Union, and would be revealed shortly. 

"It will be a good surprise, made fast in the coming days," Thaci told reporters before departing for Brussels. "The date is coordinated, and it will be made public very soon."
