In the meantime, in Pristina, there are still deep tensions, also corroborated by the fierce tones that have been heard there: in just over one week, there have been two rallies against the UN plan. This plan, comments Ungaro, is "a bitter pill for the Government of Pristina which must also suffer the control of Unmik (the UN mission to Kosovo) over the south of the country, where the majority is Serbian, and in particular over the Court of Mitrovica". According to Ungaro, "a de jure partition of Kosovo is therefore taking shape, with the river Ibar kept as the boundary line between Kosovo and Serbia". Now, he adds, "it will be interesting to see how the partnership between Unmik and Eulex will be implemented, and what will happen to Ico, the body which should have guaranteed the implementation of the Ahtisaari plant". In the meantime, goes on the expert, "after the excitement that followed the independence, the Kosovar leaders feel abandoned: in Pristina many people feel they have been let down by the United States and by some European Union’s Governments that had been as willing to support the independence of the Balkan country in the past as they are now to distance themselves from it. But, over the last few months, the streets of Pristina have gone through Georgia and Ossetia, and the consequences are under everybody’s eyes".
