No, it's not the same at all - Wyoming is still happily a part of the United States, and looks to be for the forseeable future.

Kosovo, on the other hand, is now only nominally a part of Serbia and Montenegro, and the international community sees no reason to allow Kosovo to be held hostage by Belgrade's foot dragging in the transition to a capitalist economy, so the situation is more analogous to Croatia or Slovenia and their selling off of former State owned enterprises.

Step back for a moment and take a look at the situation - Kosovo is de facto independent from Belgrade right now. All that remains is for the Serbian Government to concede that reality and make Kosovo's status a de jure one.

It's going to happen whether anybody around here likes it or not.
