This summer, I made a prediction relating to how the
current Kosovo issue is taking the entire Balkans
toward a state of war:
Four months later, look at this...(check out the 3rd
last paragraph.
As long as Russia can veto Kosovo independence, Kosovo will never be independent.
Serbia is going to demand police presence now and
military presence later. Kosovo can declare
independence but unless the UN is going to recognize
it, Kosovo independence is de-facto and non-binding.
Nobody will invest in an unrecognized state with no
international representation and that kind of
pseudo-country can easily be re-occupied.
