This is not quite what NATO had in mind when it went to war last year. In fact the UN resolution that allows the agency to administer Kosovo is very imprecise as to the political future of the province of Serbia. It makes no mention of independence, only of autonomy. But history shows that it is virtually impossible to reverse the impact of widespread nationalist fervour. It cannot be cooled until the set goals are reached.
Nationalism mobilizes populations time and time again.
Kosovo is no exception.
