Kosovo, officially the Republic of Kosovo (алб. Republika e Kosovës; серб. Република Косово) is a country in Southeast Europe with partial diplomatic recognition.

Kosovo unilaterally declared its independence from Serbia on 17 February 2008.[1]

In December 2022, Kosovo filed a formal application to become a member of the European Union.[2]

The name Kosovo is of South Slavic origin. Kosovo (серб. (кирилиця) Косово) is the Serbian neuter possessive adjective of kos (кос), 'blackbird',[3][4] an ellipsis for Kosovo Polje, 'Blackbird Field', the name of a field situated in the eastern half of today's Kosovo and the site of the 1389 Battle of Kosovo Field.[5] The name of the karst field was for the first time applied to a wider area when the Ottoman Vilayet of Kosovo was created in 1877.
