To vote or not to vote? Kosovo's Serbs decide where their loyalties lie

Nearly three years after it declared itself independent from Serbia, Kosovo is holding its first elections. But Belgrade still refuses to recognise Pristina's sovereignty. Meanwhile, Serbs still living in the breakaway republic are divided. Those in the northern parts of Kosovo, close to the border with Serbia, are expected to boycott the ballot. But elsewhere in Kosovo, some Serbs are planning to turn out.

Kosovo

It's confusing to me why the international community would advocate for a independent Kosovo and then back away from it's commitments to financially support a insignificantly small muslim pouplated region in the middle of Europe who are largely uncomfortable about muslims in general. Are the people of Kosovo any better off now than when they were subjected to ethnic cleansing?
