Why do you consider it the “right thing” to keep a region which is 97% Kosovar under the thumb of a distant Serbian overlord?
There it is again. Do you mean Kosovar-Albanian or Kosovar Serb?
Why exactly (I'll go ahead and assume that 97 is correct, I'm too lazy to go look it up) is Kosovo currently 97% Kosovar-Albanian?

They ruled themselves until about the 13th century, when the ethnically-Albanian population was conquered (and later ruled) by Slavs/Serbs for about 150-200 years. The ethnic Albanians were then conquered (and later ruled) by Ottomans for almost 500 years.
After WW1, the Great Powers awarded the area to Serbia, but the population was STILL ethnically Albanian, as it remains today.
So I ask AGAIN, why do you consider it to be the “Right Thing” to have a population which is 97% ethnically Albanian ruled (against their will) by Serbs in Belgrade?
