I wasn't referring to the similarities between Kosovo and the Basque Country, but rather to a spill-over effect. Something like the way the French Revolution inspired other revolutions in Europe. Or how the Rose Revolution inspired the Orange one. But i realize the latter case is a result to a great degree of many similarities between the countries compared.

Some would say the Rose and Orange revolutions were both CIA-inspired, or Soros-inspired, depending on their particular brand of kitchen foil.

I don't see any spillover effects. Even if the actors in the Basque process have drawn inspiration from the Ulster process leading to Stormont, the similarities end there. Especially because the Stormont agreement pales in comparison with the current (and much vilified by the Nationalist) Basque Autonomy Statute, including the ability of the Central Government in London to suspend the Northern Ireland parliament and government, which would be unthinkable in Spain already.
