The very meaning of the word
independence will be changed in the vocabulary of the international relations, if Kosovo becomes "independent".
It is my guess that there won't be any independence of Kosovo. Threatening "independence" is, in my opinion, one of the means in which Americans blackmail Serbia into accepting their military-strategic demands and becoming their main Balkanic puppet. Serbia, however, still resists. The political party of the Prime Minister Vojislav Koštunica recently issued a "declaration of neutrality", meaning that Serbia will refuse to enter NATO, ie. to compete for that (I wsih we in Croatia had a politician like Koštunica!) Maybe mounting pressure over Kosovo issue is the direct result thereof.
One possible scenario is that the government of Hashim Thaci declares "independence", which nobody in the world will recognize (see the examples of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus,
Pridnyestrovskaya Respublika in Moldova and Chechnya between 1996 and 2000). In that case the true independence wouldn't come into realization (the international recognition being one of the pre-requisties for the independence), but the Damocles' sword over Serbia will be even more effective (
lest you obey to our demands, we will recognize Kosovo).

There are still Serbs in the north eastern part of Kosovo. There the Russian forces stationed there. Plans are being made for the partition of Kosovo.
