Ok by that logic the Serb parts of Bosnia should be independent or annexed by Serbia same with the Croat parts
If the people of Bosnia want that than very possibly. What the people want matter, from a practical not merely ethical standpoint. The simple fact is Kosovo is gone from Serbia, it (with the exception of maybe the 4 municipalities of North Kosovo) are not coming back to Serbia, Serbia cannot realistically take it, and the Serbian leadership actually know this, but has to throw some lies out to keep the “Kosovo is Serbia” types happy.
It is over and done.
It's far from over and done. You saying otherwise, isn't going to matter. The refugees from Kosovo reside in Serbia. Kosovo has yet to pay out any compensation, or even acknowledge ethnic cleansing that took place. Serbia has Russian and Chinese vetoes preventing full UN membership for Kosovo. You're demanding that Serbia just get over it, without any apology, any recognition, and any compensation? That is an insane demand to make.
Furthermore, if Kosovo gets to follow that doctrine, why not Republika Srpska? Until the refugees who have been ethnically cleansed are fully satisfied, there's no reason for Serbia to help Kosovo. What the people want matters, including people who were ethnically cleansed. They matter too.
