A country where the unemployment rate is 80% is not independent of anything.

Canada's Scott Taylor of Esprit de Corps has traveled extensively over there and covered the Balkans for the past 15 years. Not only is the unemployment rampant (in addition to corruption and crime), he says voluntary payment for services (utilities and such) is non-existant, as is garbage collection.

Canada has not (yet?) recognized this stillborn "state" created on Serbia's sovereign territory, and 90% of newspaper op-eds are vehemently opposed to the Islamofascist-run "independent state" of Kosovo.
