COnTrOL
Data presented here represent the de facto situation in
Kosovo. This does not imply international recognition as
a sovereign state. In February 2008 Kosovo declared itself
independent. Serbia remains opposed to this, and while
Kosovo has not been admitted to the United Nations, a
number of states have recognised Kosovo’s self-declared
status.
FOrEIgn FOrCEs
All under Kosovo Force (KFOR) comd. unless otherwise
specified. KFOR has been deployed in Kosovo since 1999.
