Only if Serbia agrees.  Otherwise oppose.  
This. Independence is technically the best idea for both Serbia and Kosovo, and if I were a Serb I would perhaps even support it for the same reason that I would support a two-state solution in Israel: can't ignore basic demographics. However, NATO and the West have been acting disgracefully here, which is a good reason to side with Serbia for now.

I’ve only ever heard the pro-Serb argument maybe once, and never articulated. Could you go into some detail? Yugoslavia is not my strong area.

@David the first two paragraphs make sense, even if I’m uncomfortable with some of the ramifications.

Regarding the third paragraph, complaints over bias toward Kosovans only make sense if we assume “both sides” to be equally culpable. This is not the narrative here in the US. Can you correct the record? I have a relative who’s of the opinion that events in the Balkans resembled less a genocide and more a conflict between combatants, but I don’t know if that’s being argued here as well.
