Compromise imposed solution

The best idiom I have heard in a while: Compromise imposed solution.

Below is a spate of articles on Kosovo and the referendum in Serbia. They raise a lot of questions: Is Kosovo going to be a "frozen conflict"? What if the status is delayed?

FT.com / Home UK / UK - Kosovo falls hostage to big power rivalry: "Frank Wisner, the special US envoy, is expected to urge Belgrade to prevent any such breakaway move. Diplomats say his mission is to tell ­Kosovo and Serbia that they must accept Mr Ahtisaari’s “compromise imposed solution”."
