As I've said before, I can understand why many Serbians would be angry over Kosovo's independence. I personally prefer tribalism to globalism; therefore I like the idea of all nationalities represented by a government of that same nationality, to some degree. Ethnic Albanians in Kosovo (the majority of the population) would only continue to feel suppressed and bitter if they were ruled by Serbia. Just as a Serbian would feel the same way if Albania ruled him.
I can't see any peaceful conclusion to this except if Serbians accept Kosovo's independence, even if they do not agree with it. If Serbia takes Kosovo back, they could only take it by force I think, which would obviously cause much bloodshed. Even if they took it back peacefully, there would be resistance.
If Serbians continue to reject Kosovo, something will inevitably spark another war.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to defend Albanians. I just feel that this is the only way out of more war.
