Hoplite will just explain that the Serbs were just as bad and that will make everything OK!

Hop and I had no illusions that Kosovo would be a rose garden. Bigotry is rampant in the Balkans, which is why Kosovo will remain a charge of NATO for some time. But the Kosovars clearly have a right to not be a charge of an ethnic group with which they have nothing in common and have been oppressed by, and which attempted to ethnically cleansed them under the regime of a soon to be convicted war criminal and whom Serbia now wants back to face the charge of murder.

In short, no one suggests except sore losers, mostly Serb expats and descendants who dominate the Balkan threads in this neighborhood, that the "solution" to Kosovo is to return it to Serbia, including the Serbs themselves by and large. What the Serbs now want is to carve off some bits of Kosovo. It won't get that either, except perhaps in time that canton that is almost totally Serb, Leposevic, or some such name, located in that bit of Kosovo that juts north. They want the mines, and the regions adjacent. That is a pipe dream.
