Ako se u tom dijelu ne ustanovi djelotvorno prisustvo međunarodnih struktura i novih kosovskih vlasti, postoji vjerovatnoća da bismo mogli biti svjedoci takozvane "meke podjele" Kosova, što bi moglo predstavljati stalni generator nestabilnosti u okviru samog Kosova, kao i podsticaj za nova etnička izdvajanja u regionu.
If an effective presence of international structures and the new Kosovo authorities is not established in that part we could likely bear witness to a so called "soft division" of Kosovo, which could be a constant generator of instability within Kosovo itself as well as an encouragement for new ethnic distinctions in the region.
