Putin's Successor
This weekend, Russians are almost certain to choose as their next leader a man who strikes much of the world as a cipher.
With Russia's opposition silenced and its major media mostly under Kremlin control, First Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev is heavily favored to win Sunday's presidential election. Vladimir Putin, who handpicked Mr. Medvedev to succeed him, is barred by Russia's constitution from running for a third consecutive term. Mr. Medvedev has invited the popular Mr. Putin to stay on as prime minister, the government's second-most-powerful job.
The central mystery of Mr. Medvedev is whether he will call his own shots -- and, if he does, how he will rule.
Barring unforeseen events Medvedev will become the next Russian president.

Kosovo's parliament meets Sunday afternoon to officially declare the province's independence from Serbia, a move opposed by Serbia and Russia but supported by many western governments.Mapmakers are happy.CNN's Alessio Vinci, reporting from the Kosovar capital Pristina, said that the plan is for Kosovo Prime Minister Hashim Thaci to read out the independence declaration, which is written in Albanian, Serbian and English, to parliament before lawmakers pass it unanimously.
Vinci added that Kosovo's Albanian population were already singing and dancing in the streets as well as lighting firecrackers ahead of the much anticipated vote. "It's been like this for several hours now," he said.
