By laying out pros and cons we risk inducing people to join the debate, and losing control of a process that only we fully understand. - Alan Greenspan

I don't see immediate reaction given the persisting mistrust between the sides. Russians think of the West as treacherous (by history of making and breaking promises) so Russians will block international recognition of Kosovo until the West recognize Russian protectorates. The West meanwhile doesn't think it needs Russian recognition too much while support for "territorial integrity" of some states is purely political if not rhetorical. So expect status quo to continue.
