Kosovo

Kosovo is a region in Southeast Europe that declared independence from Serbia in 2008. This move followed a conflict in the late 1990s, when tensions between ethnic Albanians and Serbs escalated into war. Kosovo’s independence is recognized by over 100 countries, including the United States, but not by Serbia or some other nations, leading to ongoing political disputes. Pristina is the capital. Kosovo has a majority ethnic Albanian population and seeks to strengthen its international recognition and stability while addressing issues like economic development and relations with Serbia.
