Zvaničnici u Sofiji se boje da bi jednostrano proglašenje nezavisnosti Kosova, odluka o podjeli pokrajine po etničkim linijama ili potezi ka njegovom ujedinjavanju s nekom drugom državom mogli izazvati nasilje i zasijati nestabilnost.
Officials in Sofia fear that a unilateral declaration of independence by Kosovo, a decision to partition the province along ethnic lines, or moves towards its unification with another state could trigger violence and sow instability.
