Remember though, I said if not from within, from without. My fear is that some who were either pushed out and who are highly nationalist, or who have never been there but support the idea of GS, could become emboldened by a declaration of independence from RS.
I'd bet the Serbs would have sold Kosovo yesterday in a land swap elsewhere.
Everyone knows there was a war there. Their inhabitants first of all. Who would want a war? They?
This declaration of independence is just another play in a long game.
On the rest, I can only say what I said in another comment: that way lies madness. Weĺl soon be commemorating the 100th anniversary of WWI and the disintegration of Austria-Hungary, and the successor states seem to still be itching to ethnically cleanse their border regions and grab some land if they can in the process. They even had pretty good multinational and multiethnic states going in Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia but they broke them up. And I'm supposed to feel responsible for that dynamic? We have met the enemy, and he is us — Pogo
