I can understand the nostalgic feeling of Serbs having lost their ancestral kingdom, but I don't understand why in practice, they keep dreaming of retaking Kosovo, where it is inhabited by more than 90% of people hostile to them and economically relatively more underdevelopped
Let's imagine a scenario where there is a second Kosovo War, NATO doesn't intervene, Russia sends aid to Serbia, Serbian troops defeat Kosovo/UCK army, they retake Prishtina. Then there is a peace treaty where UN don't recognize Kosovo independence and accept that is just a region of Serbia
How in practice will Serbia maintain and manage a territory where the average Serb feel and is welcomed as a foreigner in its own land, surrounded by people that speak another language, don't share the same culture-religion-ethnicity, that only want one thing : separation from Serbia
You can keep such scenario only in a colonial authoritarian context, which is impossible to implement in our postmodern world nowadays
