Kosovo's independence

[Mitch]

Kosovo was widely expected to declare its independence from Serbia on Sunday, a move the Serbian government has denounced as "invalid."
There has been growing excitement in the predominantly ethnic Albanian province in recent days. Shopkeepers have decorated windows with signs welcoming independence and people have bought Albanian flags.

What do you think Serbia's reaction to Kosovo's independence, do you think it will break out in war or be a successful revolution?

As the move to independance is supported by both the EU and UN, it seems unlikely that Serbia would invade Kosovo.
However, I would like to bring light to the living conditions of the ethnic Romanians in the region. The putative "gypsies" would not be benefited by independance, as the state is still wrought as a caste-based society.

Slightly off-topic:

Apparently, the problem of human trafficking wasn't very serious before UN started getting involved in Kosovo's geopolitics. After UN, the number of trafficked people shot up magically.

Faulty causality. I could state that the amount of (swashbuckling) pirates worldwide is directly related to global warming, yet without any conclusive evidence it is false.

I thought FSM proved that?

Yep, that's what I took my example from.
