I think the final outcome will be an independent state because the present situation is not that different.

Besides, there is a list of the benefits of the new situation....

I frankly think the map is not going to change in the Balkans for quite a long time now. Each former republic has its state. I think this is what counts symbolically. Going further down the road will not be accepted.

And I do not not see another war...tired of them.

So, I think: problem solved....basically.

I hope I am not wrong.

You are wrong: Kosovo is not a former Republic but a former autonomous province within Serbia. And it will secede within a few years.

Kosov is not a former republic , and I think it will not secede in the following years because it does not have the symbolic entity.

MOntenegro had it.

So the wquestion boils down to Kosovo. I do not think Kosovo will get any independence (maybe some autonomy)...you seem to think otherwise... time will tell.

EurActiv: After Montenegro, Kosovo next stop? (23 May 2006)
Negotiations on Kosovo's status began in February 2006 under UN mediation. The two sides have to date held four rounds of talks. The likely outcome of the negotiations is some form of independence for Kosovo.

...

According to the International Crisis Group document, Kosovo: The Challenge of Transition (released before the status talks opened): "While agreement between Belgrade and Pristina remains desirable in theory it is extremely unlikely that any Serbian government will voluntarily acquiesce to the kind of independence, conditional or limited though it may be, which is necessary for stable long term solutions. The international community, and in particular the UN Special Envoy charged with resolving the status process, Martti Ahtisaari, must accordingly prepare for the possibility of imposing an independence package for Kosovo, however diplomatically painful that may be in the short term ..."

I think it will finish in some sort of autonomy....

but if you say otherwise...I will probably be wrong...independence is certainly one of the options (which I though was only formally on the table)

But I will not surrender until I see it!!!! j ejejej je :)

Well, knowing the region, I couldn't disagree more...
