Title: A question to all: Kosovo
Post by: Naru523 on January 23, 2011, 11:43:38 PM

Very political stuffz, but do you guys recognize Kosovo independent? For those who don't know, Kosovo was a rebelling province during the Yugoslavia War (I think). It became a United Nation protectorate after the Yugoslavia War. It then declare independence from Serbia in 2008. So what I'm asking, do you guys recognize the country?

Probably around when the Ottomans/Turkish people controlled the Balkans. Then Serbia declared independence from the Ottoman Empire, which had Kosovo. Then it turned into Yugoslavia, with Kosovo an autonomous province. Then the Kosovo people rebelled again the Serbians around the 1990 during the Yugoslav wars. It became a U.N. protectorate I think.. Declared independence from Serbia in 2008. Several countries doesn't recognize it though.

If your saying the country... 2008.  :P
