Majority of Cyprus are Greeks. Yet they are independent and have their own state. According to you they shouldn't because Greece should be their state.
Austria even though they are Germanic have their own state. According to you they shouldn't because Germany should be their state. You see even in this there is no universal approach. Let me not even bother with other areas in the world.
P.S Territory is not of Serbia. There were others who had occupied the territory for thousands of years before Serbs made it to the Balkans. Not only that but they were invaded for thousands of years. Serbia did not own the territory. Those who live there do.

Johhny - Your arguments are very poor. If You know - Cyprus was british colony. Cypriot Greeks wanted to be part of Greece, but Turkey said "NO" and after aggrement with UK was created Cyprus state, despite fact, that Cyprus from thousand years was ethnically and culturally greek island. Kosovo is predominantly albanian - from mayby 100 years (after turkish cleansings of 1876-1912).
Austria - have their own long history as independent state from hundreds years. Kosovo - have any tradition of existing as independent state.
Ps. Yes - During thousand years lot of times changed rulers of Kosovo. But Kosovo's history is linked with history of Serbia. Here was CENTRE of medieval serbian state, here were burned serbian kings. Cultural heritage of Kosovo - is mostly serbian (UNESCO heritage in Kosovo - is serbian). Only time when territory of Kosovo existed as independent state was when Kosovo was under serbian Brankovići dynasty rule. Until end of 19th century - most of Kosovo population was serbian/slavic. In 1913 - Kosovo back to Serbia after long turkish occupation. So - it's serbian land, where during long turkish occupation Albanians coming from Albania became majority. Similar to Sudetenland - where during long german occupation of Czech lands, Germans became majority. Do You remember Sudetenland and 1938?? Kosovo is Serbian Sudetenland. And will back to Serbia, like Sudetenland back to Czech Republic.
Ps. 2 Today - international law prefer territorial integrity of states more than minority attemps for independence. For minorities - international and european law offer political, economical and cultural autonomy.
