If Vuฤiฤ‡ was smart (which, he isn't)

He would drop the meddling in Bosnia and focus on Kosovo and his own internal discord. Despite the protests, Serbia's economy is on the rise.

Bosnia to this day hasn't recognized Kosovo's independence. If hypothetically RS moves to secession, nothing stops the Federation from recognizing Kosovo's break away aspirations.

It will become tit-for-tat.

The diplomatic progress on maintaining Kosovo to Serbia which Serbia has fought for immensely over the decades will be eviscerated instantly and Serbia will be found increasingly isolated.
