| Kosovo (Republic of Kosovo) - Claims independence, but Serbia also claims sovereignty. The Republic of Kosovo also claims sovereignty over the United Nations administered region of Kosovo - some small enclaves with a majority of Serbian inhabitants - which UN peacekeepers currently control. 65 nations currently recognise Kosovo, including all of it's neighbours apart from Serbia (Albania, Montenegro and Macedonia). In 2008, Serbia requested a United Nations resolution declaring Kosovo's independence, and the UN General Assembly subsequently adopted a resolution asking the International Court of Justice for an advisory opinion on the matter. More developments are expected. |
