Kosovo (autonomous province)

Kosovo is a region in Southeast Europe that declared independence from Serbia in 2008, following decades of conflict and political unrest. While many countries recognize Kosovo as an independent state, Serbia considers it an autonomous province within its borders. Kosovo has its own government and institutions, functioning as a partially recognized sovereign entity. The debate over its status involves international law, regional stability, and ethnic identities, predominantly Albanian and Serbian populations. Kosovo's independence is recognized by over 100 countries, but not universally, making its status complex and central to regional diplomacy.
