    Russia opposes Kosovo's independence because they feel the separation of Kosovo from Serbia will cause a chain reaction in the Abkhazia and South Ossetia regions of Georgia. They fear a "separatist storm" which may provoke the breakaway of former Soviet states


    "Russia faces a terrible dilemma now," says Nadezhda Arbatova, a leading scholar at the official Center for European Studies in Moscow. "I'm sure there will now be intense political pressure on the Kremlin to recognize breakaway entities in other former Soviet states, and extend this process to other areas, such as Ukraine," where there are restive ethnic Russian minorities.
