It's just unfortunate that there really is no good solution to the problem of Kosovo. No matter what happens people will be hurt.

It's really unfortunate for the Kosovar Albanians (who did the declaring and all) because they're sending their own economic self-interest up the river. As a part of Serbia they were receiving massive aid in the form of federal social programs due to their incredibly high unemployment rate. In addition they now have considerably less bargaining leverage with the large capitalist countries. Bad bad bad move Kosovo.
