'''कोसोवो''' बाल्कन क्षेत्र में स्थित एक विवादास्पद क्षेत्र है। यह स्वघोषित राज्य कोसोवो गणराज्य द्वारा नियंत्रित है, जिसका कमोबेश पूरे क्षेत्र पर नियंत्रण है, केवल कुछ सर्ब क्षेत्र को छोड़कर। सर्बिया संविधान (2006) के अंतर्गत [[सर्बिया]] कोसोवो को स्वतंत्र राष्ट्र के रूप में मान्यता नहीं देता, बल्कि उसे अपने संप्रभु क्षेत्र के अंतर्गत [[संयुक्त राष्ट्र]] शासित क्षेत्र, कोसोवो और मेतोहिजा स्वशासी प्रान्त मानता है। 

इस विवाद के बावजूद कोसोवो एक [[स्थलरुद्ध]] (चारो ओर से जमीन से घिरा) देश है, जिसके उत्तर और पूर्व में [[सर्बिया]] स्थित है, दक्षिण में [[मेसाडोनिया गणराज्य]], पश्चिम में [[अल्बानिया]] और उत्तरपश्चिम में [[मोन्टेग्रो]] स्थित है। कोसोवो की राजधानी और सबसे बड़ा शहर [[प्रिस्टिना]] है। अन्य बड़े शहरों में पेक, प्रेजरन, जाकोवा और मित्रोविका शामिल हैं।

Kosovo (Albanian: Kosova, Kosovë; Serbian: Косово or Косово и Метохија, Kosovo or Kosovo i Metohija[6]) is a disputed territory in the Balkans. Its majority is governed by the partially-recognised Republic of Kosovo (Albanian: Republika e Kosovës; Serbian: Република Косово, Republika Kosovo), a self-declared independent state which has de facto control over the territory; the exceptions are some Serb enclaves. Serbia does not recognise the secession of Kosovo and considers it a United Nations-governed entity within its sovereign territory, the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija (Serbian: Аутономна Покрајина Косово и Метохија, Autonomna Pokrajina Kosovo i Metohija), according to the Constitution of Serbia (2006).[7]

Kosovo is a landlocked territory. Apart from being disputed by Serbia with which it forms a continuous land north and eastward, the remainder is bordered by the Republic of Macedonia to the south, Albania to the west and Montenegro to the northwest (all of which recognise Kosovo as independent). The largest city and the capital of Kosovo is Pristina (alternatively spelled Prishtina or Priština), while other cities include Peć (Peja), Prizren, Đakovica (Gjakova), and Kosovska Mitrovica (Mitrovica).

In antiquity, Kosovo roughly correlated with the lands inhabited by the Dardani.[8] Subsequently, the region was successively integrated into the Roman, Byzantine, Bulgarian and Serbian empires, although the region witnessed arrivals and peturbations caused by numerous barbarian groups. Following the Battle of Kosovo in 1389, it became part of the Ottoman Empire; this brought the region into close contact with the Middle East and subsequently introduced Islam to the population. During the late 19th century, Kosovo was the centre of the Albanian national awakening. In 1912, the Ottoman province was divided between Montenegro and Serbia, both of which became part of Yugoslavia in 1918. During World War II, the majority of Kosovo was part of the Italian occupation of Albania before becoming an autonomous province under the SFR Yugoslavia.

After the Kosovo War and the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia,[9] the territory came under the interim administration of the United Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), most of whose roles were assumed by the European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo (EULEX) in December 2008.[10] In February 2008, the Assembly of Kosovo declared Kosovo's independence as the Republic of Kosovo. Its independence is recognised by 62 UN member states and the Republic of China (Taiwan). On 8 अक्टूबर 2008, upon request of Serbia, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution asking the International Court of Justice for an advisory opinion on the issue of Kosovo's declaration of independence.[11]
