Correct me if I m wrong but Kosovo s autonomy was reduced in 1989 because it was on level of republics of Yugoslavia and in 1990 it was revoked Same happened in Vojvodina And that really doesn t matter cause that doesn t make from Kosovo unique case Charter of the UN Organisation is proclaiming that borders of the state can not be chagned without agreement of that state That s all what matters If this was disturbed and international community agree with that at least those 33 states than it can be taken as precedens And I don t know if you know that Nagorno Karabakh South Ossetia and Abkhazia alsready announced that they will appel on international community to recongize these territories of Azerbajan and Georgia as independent states as well Their decision was based on Kosovo s precedens
