Kosovo takes 'historic step' towards joining Council of Europe

         "Today's decision marks a historic step, perhaps the most important since our independence," said Kosovo's Foreign Minister.

Kosovo took a step towards joining the Council of Europe on Monday, amid fiery opposition from Serbia. 

According to AFP, the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe "transmitted for opinion" Kosovo's membership application to its Parliamentary Assembly, though it is unknown when this verdict will be delivered. 

The Council of Europe is an international organisation founded after World War II to protect human rights, democracy and the rule of law in Europe.
