Nobody has a solution.
There are solutions, but they require NATO and the West to face up to the real issues. Partition is the solution being imposed right now by the remaining Kosovar Serbs in Mitrovica and the region next to the Serbian border. This is where the mineral wealth of the province is concentrated and where most of the Serbs in Kosovo have fled since NATO troops entered in June 1999. Members of the Serbian minority have just as much right to remain in Kosovo as the Albanian majority. Just because the Serbian leadership brutalized Albanians, innocent Serbs shouldn't be driven from their homeland.
