Is there any concern that if this sort of precedent is set provinces all around the world could point to it as legitimate way to leave a country, join a country or found a new new nation? For example, the Basques in Spain. Could we see a new tactic of acquiring resources and land by immigration and elections along border regions?

In my point of view, there is - Caucasus. Russian government pumps tons of money into its development to make it loyal and stop separatists. It can not last forever, one day we will have the choice - start new war or leave that territory.
