Serbian History, neigh, all of Eastern European history has been similar to Western European History.The only difference is the collosal border the region shares with the giant that is Russia. Russia has manipulated and abused Eastern Europe for it's own ends for centuries.

Russia has ulterior motives in Eastern Europe, always has and will. Their annexation following WW2 is a testament to that. Eastern Europe could stand against them if they united or joined NATO.

Serbia can join NATO and stand up to Russia. Serbia obviously won't approve of the Kosovar independence, but can't & won't do anything. Serbia is in the same position that Spain is in, that France is in and Britain if their respective break-away regions declared independence.

The last time the Serbians repressed the Kosovar's, there was enormous Genocide. This is why I support Kosovo. England has not commited Genocide against against the 'other three' in centuries. Kosovo is breaking away because of the lack of economic prosperity. Serbia is a proud and ancient ethnic group, it is proud because it stood up to previous repressors.

If Serbia can provide economic prosperity to the Kosovars then this would not be happening.
