Kosova never was a Serbian province. It was there, since the times of birth of European civilization, a very distinct Dardanian/llyrian identity. Always populated by Dardanias who, although under constant pressure of forcefully migration by Tito's Yugoslavia & Milloshevic's Serbia, still make up 92% of the population. Serbs always have been a minority there. We know that Serbs appeared in Balkans (then llyria) only by the 6th Century AD. They have always been a minority and 'the story' of Kosova being the Heartland of Serbia is just a pure Serbian nationalist fantasy. Facts Speak Louder Than Words and Serbian’s Lies Will Collapse by Themselves. Serbs always have been considered as oppressors there, not just by Albanian majority, but also by other ethnic groups to. Serbs just occupied Kosova during the rise of the Serbian nationalism early 20th cent. from Ottomans, who by then were loosing the Balkans after 500 years of occupation. Now Kosova should be Free!

Once again, America loves the PR from foreign policy actions but basically gives the middle finger to the American Indians (and domestic issues in general) once again. Congrats to Kosovo, but this is like recognizing the kid with extra-time (Kosovo) in class for doing well on a test, and giving the kid who does shit all by himself (the Indians) no recognition at all.
