:: Here's another story  that describes the growing unease in the West at Kosovo being described as "an integral part of Serbia" (in reference to the new constitution of Serbia). It seems that you cannot indeed reliably claim that Kosovo is a part of serbia any longer either. Which again lends support to my original argument I made months ago: The presently recognised status is completely irrelevant at this point in time, so much so that even the International community that recognises it does not believe in it.  

 ::I'm not trying to argue the removal of the word "Province" altogether here, but wouldn't you agree that "International Protectorate" sounds more realistic.
