You might also ask if these people have the right to take state property like the mines.
Also, do surrounding states have the right to intervene if the new minorities are attacked?

Fair point. I think in the case of Kosovo, the boundaries will have to be redrawn along ethnic lines. And, yes if the Kosovo Serbs are attacked by the Kosovo Albanians, then they have the right to defend themselves, and Serbia would have the right to assist them.
See, it’s not all one way traffic. The Kosovans will come to understand this, but these things take time.
