As I understand it and in a nutshell - Kosovo is a disputed territory in Serbia the population of which is mainly (c. 80-90%) ethnic Albanian who also feel they have a claim to the area in question. As has been demonstrated very well in the past, the Serbs are a fiercly nationalistic nation and will argue that not only is their territory being stolen but that the Serbian population living in Kosovo will now be in great risk of discrimination and even reprisals for what happened in the 1990's. All in all, it's a tinder box waiting to erupt in flames I reckon.
