Kosovo or Kosova

Serbs call it Kosovo, Albanians call it Kosova. Since the Nato-campaign in 1999 there is a constant discussion, if Kosovo should be A independent, B part of Albania, C part of Serbia, the pre-war status or D segregation.

At least B, part of Albania, seems to be the least possible version right now. But I believe, that if A or D should become reality, B could easily follow. And if we allow the Albanians to reunite, who could stop the Serbs and the Croats to take the' part of Bosnia they already control?

Which would leave the Bosniaks with almost nothing.

A is what the West wants, at least most of it, C has the support of Russia and as far as I know is the thing to do according to international law.

If one changes the rule here, there would be a lot of other ethnic groups all around the world, which would want their independence and if we give that to the Kosova-Albanians, who could deny it to any other group. Even the USA, with their large Indian, Black and Latino groups could be on the receiving end of segregation demands.
