Both Belgrade and Pristina will sign the deal the international community tells them to sign. For Belgrade, this is (finally) self-evident. For Pristina, this has been a choreographed production since 1999: stonewall, demand, and threaten to "go it alone" unless their claims are met. The international community met them on one claim: independence from Serbia. The rest has been almost entirely designed by the West and placed in front of whoever speaks on behalf of Kosovo's Albanians as a take-it-or-leave-it-without-our-support ultimatum.
The grandstanding from Kosovo's Albanian elite and the predictable "FU" attitude coming from the mob have been blunted repeatedly in the past; in the establishment of UNMIK, the the Ahtisaari Plan, the EULEX, then renewed talks with Belgrade, and finally the tribunal for KLA war criminals.
Kosovo's entire post-1999 development has been almost entirely orchestrated by the US, the EU, and Russia. Belgrade and Pristina are little more than backseat drivers without a license.
