Outline of Kosovo



Kosovo (Kosova, Kosovë; Косово or Косово и Метохија, Kosovo or Kosovo i Metohija ) is a disputed territory in the Balkans. Its majority is governed by the partially-recognised Republic of Kosovo (Republika e Kosovës; 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 (Аутономна Покрајина Косово и Метохија, Autonomna Pokrajina Kosovo i Metohija), according to the Constitution of Serbia (2006).
