Kosovo

Kosovo is a region in the south of Serbia. The area has been under United Nations administration since 1999 because of conflict stemming from the desire for independence. Kosovo's population is mostly ethnic-Albanian, a stark contrast to the rest of the population of Serbia.

Albanian muslim terrorists, described as such by USA administration in 1998, started an uprising and violence erupted, with both the United Nations and NATO intervening to stop violence.

After 1999, Kosovo Muslim Albanians have expelled 250 000 Christian Serbs, and burned hundreds of midevil Churches, some of them from the XII century. The violent attacks against the remaining Serbs persist, with the outbreaks of violence like one in 2004.

Kosovo at this point is a hub for smuggling drugs, arms and the largest center of white slave trade. Albanian muslim mafia is notorious in Europe for its crude brutality.

Kosovo's future is still uncertain. There is not set date for United Nations administration to end, but until recently it was thought that it would soon become an independent state. The agreement which ended the Kosovo War essentially severed all of Kosovo's ties with the state of Serbia, which no longer has governing authority in the territory, but confirmed the formal souveregnity in UN resolution 1244. In addition, Kosovo has had territory-wide elections for a legislature, President, and Prime Minister. Recent negotiations have been stalled due to Russia's support of Serbian sovereignty over Kosovo.
