The external advocates need to be more suitable for Kosovo, a significant part of Serbia. On the contrary, those in favor of Kosovar independence are only a segment of the major Western parties. On the other hand, some kind of political and economic autonomy is necessary, which would give Kosovo the possibility of living in the south of Serbia, under NATO control, which would be more suitable for the security of all sides. There are voices that think such a solution should take into account the reality created by the war and avoid a direct clash with Serbia.

For the author of the analysis, Kosovo’s future cannot be seen outside a major international agreement and outside NATO’s role, but neither within a simple model of annexation or immediate separation.
