This may sound very naive, but what about a deal where everyone recognises Kosovo in return for both Serbia and Kosovo being admitted to the EU at the same time and under the same conditions.
All of Cyprus is now in the EU de iure as Northern Cyprus is not recognised internationally. De facto, the Cypriot government does not have control of the Northern territory. There wre several proposed treaties to solve this problem. The plan was that both sides would approve the plan, Cyprus would be reunified and then Cyprus would join the EU.
As it happened, the North approved the latest plan, the South didn't, and still the EU went ahead with accession and now it cannot use accesion as a carrot to solve the Cyprus problem.
So you should be very careful about using joint EU accession as a tool to resolve the Kosovo situation. We have met the enemy, and he is us — Pogo
