Summary/Abstract: This article aims to analyze the process of independence of Kosovo, its legal and policy frameworks and especially its implications for Geopolitical of Europe in the XXI century. After three years of Kosovo independence, its arising is being identified into two issues: the legitimacy and legality of the new leadership (which is not the purpose of our analysis) but also a question mark on the independence process artificially accelerated, creating a precedent. The article also proposes to analyze and compare, if appropriate, the socioethnic quicksand of some EU countries. A trend which could become rampant in declaring the rules ad hoc.
