I agree that they should get out of Kosovo. That’s not the point, however. One must follow the treaties and honor one’s word. They should have done this through NATO, even if it were to be unilateral. “We need to pull out of Kosovo. There is no support for staying, and we can no longer afford the indulgence. Please support us in our choice to withdraw.” Then, if NATO “allows” it, things would be less damaged. There’d be some grumbling, but nothing like this. It was poorly handled.
