Kosovo is a land-locked Eastern European country. It is bordered by Albania to the west, Montenegro to the northwest, Macedonia to the south, and Serbia to the northeast.
Facts:
- The capital is Pristina
- The official language is Albanian
- The population is 2.1 million
- 95% of the population declare themselves as Muslim
History:
- Long-term sever ethnic tensions between Kosovo’s Albanian and Serbian population left Kosovo ethnically divided resulting in the Kosovo War from 1998-1999.
- After being controlled by Serbia since 1812’s Balkin War, Kosovo declared independence from Serbia in 2008, though Serbia does not recognize Kosovo as independent the UN does.
