The Serbs have a track record of trying to keep Yugoslavia together under their domination. They even held on to a third of Croatia until the Germans and US retrained the Croatian Army, which then kicked their butts out.

Supporting Kosova's independence was the right call. As has been mentioned, there's no more threat of jihadists there than already exists in Albania.

“Supporting Kosovo’s independence was the right call.”

Kosovo has been a battleground between ethnic Serbians and Albanians for hundreds of years. Independence won't change that. There will be one of two outcomes: (1) Serbs will maintain administrative control over northern Kosovo, including Mitrovica; or (2) there will be a repeat of the 1990’s, but this time a newly emboldened Russia will weigh in on the side of the Serbs, with potentially far-reaching consequences for NATO and Central Europe.
