Well, once USA & EU get tired of nursing their neonate, it will probably join Albania along with western half of Macedonia, and possibly part of Montenegro.

Sure they were. Much earlier. Russia and Serbia will block Kosovo's attempts to join UN, OSCE, Council of Europe... Spain, Slovakia, Romania, Cyprus and Greece will block their attempt to join EU, because of their own problems with ethnic minorities. So, Kosovo will pretty much be dependant of international donations in the coming years. Also, Serbs are going to try to prevent EULEX and institutions of the newly pronounced state from taking control in the northern part of Kosovo, since they are majority there. They're going to try to secede from Kosovo, like Kosovo seceded from Serbia. Serb population in the central and southern parts of Kosovo will probably be banished from their homes by Albanian majority. Meanwhile, Russia's going to continue charging Serbia for support. Recently they bought NIS ( national oil company) for measly 400.000.000
