Even though it's my understanding that young people in Serbia today are less preoccupied with Kosovo than the oldies, these things wax and wane.

I wouldn't bet on that. They temporarily lost their interest because it's obvious nothing can be done at the moment. Milosevic was stupid enough to bet on a losing card but generally Serbs are not. That's why people were so divided about him and his approach. I'll tell you, most of the young Serbs never have visited Kosovo and wouldn't care to live there but will be ready to die for it. It's very hard to explain...strange sort of people we are...they'll wait for right moment. They are used to waiting during history...How do you think they managed to make Yugoslavia (to the hell with it!)? Unfortunately the price they paid was always too high and paid by blood.

At one point I used to believe that would be solution...I don't really know...but as you said it's not on the table at this point.
Serbs are at hard place generally nowadays everywhere but things tend to change drastically during history... empires come and go...people are still there. Neither Serbs or Albanians or Croats or others will go anywhere...This is not a first time for us to have drastically changed borders...Most of the people there has been born in one state and died in another...There is no such a thing as last battle on Balkan...
