So I work with a Serb. He just talked to some inlaws over there. It's heating up...and not only in Belgrade.

What a bad deal for the Serbs. It's going to go on from here like the Jews and Palestinians. A never ending nit-pick fight.

to prevent rioting along the Kosovo-Serbia border from getting out of hand.

When is rioting ever *not* out of hand?

What's the unit of measure of national sovereignty?

I hasten to add that the European countries who've opposed Kosovar independence, e.g. Russia, Spain, Cyprus, all have separatist minorities themselves. The United Kingdom, with Scottish, Welsh, and Cornish minorities, may find itself hoist on its own petard.

Given the standard set by the Kosova self-declaration of indepandence, the Serb majority areas can likewise vote to secede and rejoin Serbia. It'll be interesting to see what happens in the Serb majority areas in Bosnia and Croatia. Could be a repeat of the 1990s.
