While I agree with many points in your post I believe some of those are flawed.
1. If Serbia ever throws the first punch in terms of military; it will be over for her for this century. That is the stupidest move they can make. You are assuming there will be no repercussions. This is the same assumption Serbia made in 1999. Now if Serbia and Kosova was somewhere in Africa that might be true.
2. You are assuming that Kosova has no allies or will have no allies in the future and Serbia will have plenty of them. The Serbian camp seems to always make this assumption. I don't know if it is a superiority complex meaning we can make allies and they can't. I don't know how to explain that.
3. Agreed Kosova needs to progress at a much faster pace. Agreed Serbia has an interest in keeping Kosova poor and isolated. Based on that anyone with two eyes and a brain can see that Serbia and Kosova within the same state (under whatever label you want to put to this hypothetical Frankenstein of state) is a recipe for disaster. Who in their right mind would want to be under a state that wants to keep you poor and isolated. Isn't that enough of a cause to fight to distance yourself from such a state?
4. You are also assuming NATO forces will leave very soon. You are also assuming that nobody in NATO is aware of Belgrade policies or what it intends to do once NATO leaves. NATO will be there for a long time, very long time even though the numbers might decrease. Also here's the trick. 1244 gives them authority to use force to stop any unrest. That 1244 the Serbs are so fond of makes sure that they remain there indefinitely, at least theoretically. There is no expiration date.
5. As for politicians time will take care of them. They are no different than politicians anywhere. No matter how Belgrade tries to paint them. The picture Belgrade tries to paint is effective for internal mass consumption and to keep their own herds in check. If neither the people nor the Western world wanted those politicians in Kosova they would be gone yesterday.
6. What Serbia says about Kosova today it said about Albania in 1912. Back then Serbian politicians claimed Albania was as they put it: "Old Serbia" and "Serbia's Heart"..
