you do but ask Serbians if they do)

Ethnic Serbs in the country are already protesting heavily, and Serbia has already said that it will never recognize Kosovo, not to mention Russia and a few other around the world won't as well.

Honestly its just a matter of time before Albanian and Serbian militias start killing each other. Its only been about 10 years since the Kosovo war, and about 15 years since the Second Balkan war.

Why would the British get involved? It's between the Serbs (& Russians) and Kosovo.

The Kosovan war was started when NATO commenced a bombing canpaign against Serbia to pressure it into accepting resolution 1199, which basically dealt with the safety of the Albanian's there.
Since then Kosovo has been under a UN mandate, and this independance was always likely to happen, especially after the split up of serbia and montenagro.

Most NATO members will support the independance, whilst Russia opposes it because it origionally opposed military action on Serbia in 1999. Spain and other nations only oppose the independance because of their own seperatist groups.

Obviously the serb minority are unhappy, but they probably won't resort to violence because of the large NATO/UN prescence there.

As do I. Very corrupt region which is always being threatened and influenced by Russia. On the other side here the United States influences the other side to break away. Russia and the US are both wrong to be getting involved in the middle of these INTERNAL affairs.

[Jaffa]

Russia has very little influence within former Yugoslavia, unlike other eastern european nations.

By the way, it wasn't the US which got involved in Kosovo, it was NATO :P
