For as long as the US, EU and NATO member states fail to recognise Kosovo as a sovereign and independent state and not their vassality and geopolitical field to stimulate their own sovereign, there can’t be peace in Kosovo nor end to Serbia’s aggression and interferences. Simple!

Smells like Ukraine is 'exploting' the question of the recognition of Kosovo to re-engage with Serbia!

Wrong. Serbia is generator of instability in Kosovo through its parallel structures; obstacle to normalisation through its denial of Kosovo's statehood; & conductor of diplomatic aggression through its derecognition campaign. 'Srpski svet' is the only unfolding hegemonic project!
Belgrade is the generator of stability in K&M and
@albinkurti
is an obstacle to any normalization, cause he disrupts the dialogue.
When it comes to hegemonic goals, it would be enough if Kurti would stop advocating creation of the Greater Albania and all problems would be gone!

Haradinaj resignation is game-changer for Kosovo-Serbia dialogue. Not sure it will benefit transitional justice processes. By prosecuting selectively Kosovo's leadership while tolerating Serbia's leaders who deny genocide & war crimes won't contribute to regional reconciliation.

Let’s remember that NATO’s intervention was a consequence of Russia’s ‘hidden veto’ to a consensual, legal, and UN-led response to Kosovo war!
Abusing with the veto power at UNSC is a major problem, which usually blocks peace, prolongs crises, and triggers interventions!

This is untrue, as most of Russia's claims on Kosovo these days! In 1991, Kosovo held an independence referendum but wasn't recognised by other states. In 2008, it declared its independence following the UN mediator's proposal for supervised independence and talks with Serbia.
