As far as you exaggerate with your argumentation, I also dislike the idea of independent Kosovo. Such precedent might provoke similar actions in other part of the world. Kosovo should get some autonomy among Serbia but nothing more.
I hope you are right about my exggeration.
And I think that wide authonomy is best for Kosov, and all they will muslims get.
But State Departmant offitials are downgrating America in the eyes of the Serbs with statements like theese.
Why? It should be the decision of the majority of the Kosovarians in what form of gouvernment they want to live. There is a name for it: Democracy. If they want to be a part of Serbia, Albania or if they want to start their own country - I do not care as long as they are no threat to their neighbours or their own people and minorities. Religion shouldn't play a role in such consideration, since we do not live in a theocracy.
The problem I see is, that they are simply not able to form a own working government due to the tendency of their leaders to be hateful, criminal and chaotic. The common people have to pay a bitter price.
