Redrawing borders and separating population (whom main identitarian distinctions are rather relatively recent or relatively recently exacerbated) on a top-down perspective is also preventing these population to undergo similar evolution and nation-building on their own grounds (and original solutions) that western countries managed to pull of eventually, and risking to turn the region in yet another ethnicised national ensemble like it happened in Balkans with the known consequences.
Of course it can be messy, if not bloody, but western meddling in Balkans doesn't have a good record anyway to really appear as peace-giver there.
