    Kosovo is a disputed territory and partially recognised
    state in Southeastern Europe that declared
    independence from Serbia in February 2008 as the Republic of
    Kosovo .
    Kosovo is landlocked in the central Balkan Peninsula. With its
    strategic position in the Balkans, it serves as an important link in
    the connection between central and south Europe, the Adriatic
    Sea, and Black Sea. Its capital and largest city is Pristina, and
    other major urban areas include Prizren, Pej and Gjakova. It is
    bordered by Albania to the southwest, the Republic of
    Macedonia to the southeast, Montenegro to the west and the
    uncontested territory of Serbia to the north and east. While
    Serbia recognises administration of the territory by Kosovo's
    elected government, it still continues to claim it as its
    own Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija.
    In antiquity, the Dardanian Kingdom, and later the Roman
    province of Dardania was located in the region. The area
    was inhabited by several ancient Illyrian tribes. In the
    Middle Ages, it was part of
    the Byzantine, Bulgarian and Serbian Empires, and many
    consider the Battle of Kosovo of 1389 to be one of the
    defining moments in Serbian medieval history. Kosovo was
    the core of the medieval Serbian state and it has been the
    seat of the Serbian Orthodox Church from the 14th century
    when its status was upgraded into a patriarchate. After
    being part of the Ottoman Empire from the 15th to the
    early 20th century, in the late 19th century Kosovo became
    the centre of the Albanian independence movement with
    the League of Prizren.
    As a result of the defeat in the First Balkan War (1912
    13), the Ottoman Empire ceded the Vilayet of Kosovo
    to the Balkan League; the Kingdom of Serbia took its
    larger part, while the Kingdom of Montenegro
    annexed the western part before both countries
    joined the Kingdom of Yugoslavia after World War I.
    After a period of Yugoslav unitarianism in the
    Kingdom, the post-World War II Yugoslav
    constitution established the Autonomous Province of
    Kosovo and Metohija within the Yugoslav constituent
    republic of Serbia.
    Long-term ethnic tensions between
    Kosovo's Albanian and Serb populations left the
    territory ethnically divided, resulting in inter-ethnic
    violence, culminating in the Kosovo War of 199899,
    part of the wider regional Yugoslav Wars. The war
    ended with a military intervention of NATO, which
    forced the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia to withdraw
    its troops from Kosovo, which became a UN
    protectorate under UNSCR 1244. On 17 February
    2008 Kosovo's Parliament declared independence. It
    has since gained diplomatic recognition as a sovereign
    state by 111 UN member states, Taiwan, the Sovereign
    Military Order of Malta, the Cook Islands and Niue.
    Serbia refuses to recognise Kosovo as a state,
    although with the Brussels Agreement of
    2013 it has accepted the legitimacy of
    Kosovar institutions. Kosovo has a lower-
    middle-income economy and has
    experienced solid economic growth over the
    last decade by international financial
    institutions, and has experienced growth
    every year since the onset of the global
    financial crisis in 2008.
